Chris Martin Stats

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Chris Martin (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The 36-year-old righty has been one of the more reliable arms out of the Red Sox bullpen this season, posting a 2.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 2:1 K/BB ratio to go along with three holds over seven innings. Shoulders can be tricky so there's a chance that Martin remains on the IL past his 15 day minimum.

The Boston Red Sox agreed to a two-year, $17.5 million deal with right-handed reliever Chris Martin on Friday, pending a physical, according to sources familiar with the deal. The 36-year-old was excellent for the Los Angeles Dodgers after a deadline trade and parlayed that performance into a multi-year deal on the open market this offseason. He began the 2022 campaign with the Chicago Cubs and had a 4.31 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 31 1/3 relief innings before joining the Dodgers in the second half. With LA, he allowed just four earned runs on 12 hits while walking one and striking out 34 hitters in 24 2/3 innings. Martin will look to help a Boston bullpen that was pretty bad last season, and he should pitch in high-leverage situations.

Chicago Cubs veteran reliever Chris Martin has been acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade, according to Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic. The details of the trade have not yet been released but Martin should help shore up the Dodgers' bullpen down the stretch. The 36-year-old has a 4.31 ERA, .134 WHIP, and 40:4 K/BB ratio over 31 1/3 innings (34 appearances) of relief with the Cubs this year. UPDATE: MLB Network's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Dodgers are sending the Cubs infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry in the deal.
