Clean inning in return Martin pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout to earn a hold in Monday's 5-3 win over Washington.

Impact Martin made his first appearance since May 23, as he held been held out of action while managing vaccine side effects. The right-hander has been excellent when healthy with a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB across 7.2 innings this season. He missed over a month with a shoulder injury, but his performance suggests he'll be in the mix for high-leverage work.

Managing vaccine side effects Martin wasn't available to pitch Tuesday due to side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Brian Snitker didn't sound too concerned about Martin's status following Tuesday's game but said that the right-hander wasn't available. It's not yet clear whether Martin will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale against Boston.

Impact Martin has been sidelined for a month due to right shoulder inflammation, but he could rejoin Atlanta's bullpen after his pair of rehab appearances. The right-hander made just two relief appearances in the majors to begin the season but could see some high-leverage opportunities once he's cleared to return.

Rehab assignment coming soon Martin (shoulder) is expected to have a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett before returning to the major-league roster, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact It remains to be seen exactly when Martin's rehab outing will come and exactly when he'll be back on the active roster, but it appears as though he's closing in on a return. The righty was expected to be in the high-leverage mix this season but made just two appearances before being shut down with shoulder inflammation, which has now kept him sidelined for a full month.
