Chris Martin Stats

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Luke Jackson has been placed on the paternity leave list on Thursday. He can be absent from the team up to three days, but often times players don't use that much time. In a corresponding move, right-hander Chris Martin (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He missed each of the last two weeks due to shoulder inflammation. Martin has a 4.17 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 27/6 K/BB ratio in 36 2/3 innings this year. There isn't much fantasy value here, but the Braves are certainly happy to have a fresh arm in their bullpen.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Chris Martin was called upon to hold a two-run lead in the ninth inning on Sunday. Normally, Will Smith would be asked to close out the game, but had a rough outing on Saturday. Martin allowed one run and two hits, but managed to hold it down and help the Braves get the 5-4 victory. It was his first save of the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect many more from him. It would take a few more meltdowns by Smith for him to lose the closer spot. Martin remains only an asset in fantasy formats where holds are important.
