Loses roster spot The Marlins designated Martinez for assignment Wednesday.
Impact After being claimed off waivers from the Mariners on March 15, Martinez's stay on Miami's 40-man roster lasted less than two weeks with the Marlins swapping him out for right-hander Tyler Phillips, whom the team acquired from the Phillies on Wednesday. Martinez spent most of the 2024 season in the majors with Houston, serving in a middle-relief role while logging a 3.59 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB while collecting three wins, three holds and one save over 52.2 innings.

Claimed by Fish The Marlins claimed Martinez off waivers from Seattle on Saturday.
Impact Less than two weeks after moving from Miami to Seattle via waiver claim, Martinez will now head right back to Miami. The 30-year-old righty allowed four runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his lone appearance of the spring but his career 3.93 ERA should give him a good chance of sticking around in the Marlins' bullpen. Andrew Nardi (back) was placed on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Claimed by Seattle The Mariners claimed Martinez off waivers from the Marlins on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Seattle will be Martinez's fourth team of the offseason after he finished the 2024 campaign with Houston. The 30-year-old made 44 regular-season appearances for the Astros last season and had a 3.59 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB across 52.2 innings.

Designated for assignment The Marlins designated Martinez for assignment Thursday.
Impact Martinez was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks last Thursday, and after just a week with the team he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Brett de Geus, who was picked up off waivers from Pittsburgh on Thursday. Martinez finished last season with a 3.59 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 52.2 regular-season innings with the Astros, so there could still be several teams willing to give him a spot on their 40-man instead.

The Miami Marlins have claimed right-handed reliever Seth Martinez off waivers from the Arizona DiamondbacksFEBRUARY 20 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Claimed by Fish The Marlins claimed Martinez off waivers from Arizona on Thursday.
Impact The 30-year-old righty was pushed off the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster Monday to make room for Kendall Graveman (shoulder). Martinez spent all of last season with the Astros, turning in a 3.59 ERA and 1.27 WHIP alongside a 36:18 K:BB over 52.2 regular-season innings. Assuming he keeps a similar level of production during spring training, he'll have a good chance of winning a spot in Miami's Opening Day bullpen. Eury Perez (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Impact The move comes with Ryan Pressly heading to the 15-day injured list due to a lower back strain.

Works effectively in long relief Martinez (1-0) allowed one hit and no walks while striking out two across 3.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the Rangers.
Impact The Astros pitching staff was put in a tough position after Framber Valdez (elbow) was scratched. That was exacerbated after Blair Henley managed only one out while allowing five runs, but Martinez followed him into the game and managed to tally his 11 outs on just 32 pitches. Martinez is capable of working multiple innings in relief but has never started a big-league game, so he'll almost certainly return to a more traditional role out of the bullpen moving forward.
