Carlos Martínez News
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) is on track to resume throwing in the next few days, but the team doesn't anticipate him being ready for Opening Day. An MRI exam showed no structural damage in his right shoulder, and he received a platelet-rich plasma injection to slow his inflammation. Martinez dealt with arm injuries last year that sent him to the disabled list multiple times, so it's definitely not a good sign that he's still having shoulder issues in 2019. The right-hander is still worth a late-round pick in mixed leagues, but his stock is certainly trending downward during draft season.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) is expected to begin the season on the injured list. There isn't much clarity on how the Cardinals will use Martinez this season, but given his injury, he's likely to at least begin in the bullpen before perhaps working his way back into the rotation in the summer. Martinez has the talent to be a solid fantasy piece if he has a set and meaningful role, but for now he's looking like a guy to leave on the board until the later rounds.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) is still five to seven days away from throwing, and his chances of being ready for Opening Day are shrinking. Martinez dealt with arm issues last year that caused him to be moved to the bullpen late in the season. With St. Louis having plenty of rotation options, it seems likely that he'll start the year in the bullpen again whenever he's ready. That would obviously be a big blow to Martinez's fantasy value, but he's still worth taking in the middle rounds in mixed leagues.
