Chicago White Sox right-hander Davis Martin's (elbow) rehab from Tommy John surgery has gone well. His body and arm are feeling good and he is scheduled to start throwing bullpen sessions next Monday. The 27-year-old hurler went under the knife last May and continues to work his way back for the 2024 season. He will open the regular season on the injured list and probably isn't going to be able to join Chicago's bullpen until the second half of the year. Martin made his big-league debut with the Pale Hose in 2022 and had a 4.83 ERA (4.28 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with 19 walks and 48 strikeouts in 63 1/3 innings over 14 appearances (nine starts). Given his long layoff, Martin is most likely to return to Chicago as a reliever once he's ready to make his season debut in 2024.
Chicago White Sox pitcher Davis Martin (biceps) was removed from Wednesday's start against the Minnesota Twins due to right biceps soreness. He allowed nine runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one across 1 2/3 innings before exiting in the top of the second inning. It's unclear if the biceps injury will prevent the 25-year-old from being ready by Spring Training. Martin finished the 2022 season with a 4.83 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 48 strikeouts over 63 1/3 innings.
Davis Martin Expected To Start Saturday Against Arizona
Chicago White Sox pitcher Davis Martin will start Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte before Saturday's start. The 25-year-old allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three across 5 1/3 innings in the previous start with the White Sox. He owns a 4.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 26:10 K: BB across 36 innings in 2022. "Carlos Perez getting a start when Davis Martin starts makes the most sense," said White Sox manager Tony La Russa. "Likely Saturday at home against Arizona." Fantasy managers in deep-league formats can use Martin as a streamer in a plus matchup against the below .500 (56-66) Diamondbacks club.
