Corbin Martin - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Converts save Friday Martin struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Martin has allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out two over four scoreless innings in the majors this season. The 30-year-old right-hander is getting steady usage since the Cubs selected his contract from Triple-A Iowa last Saturday. The Cubs' bullpen is in flux currently since Daniel Palencia (lat), Caleb Thielbar (hamstring), Phil Maton (knee) and Hunter Harvey (triceps) are all on the injured list. Martin is one of four pitchers to log a save for the Cubs this season, and only Thielbar has multiple saves despite the team's first-place standing in the NL Central. It's unclear if Martin will be called on again for save chances in the near term, but he's pitched well enough to earn some additional looks in the late innings.

Contract selected The Cubs selected Martin's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Martin will join the big-league bullpen for the first time this season after giving up one earned run in two innings with Iowa. Cade Horton (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Falls short in roster bid The Cubs reassigned Martin to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Martin made 17 appearances in the big leagues with Baltimore in 2025, but he lost his spot on the 40-man roster in September and then signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs over the winter. The veteran righty was unable to secure a spot in the Cubs' Opening Day bullpen and is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Iowa.

Goes to Cubs on MiLB deal The Cubs signed Martin to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Lance Brozdowski of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Martin made 17 appearances out of the Orioles' bullpen this past season, finishing with a 6.00 ERA but a more promising 23:9 K:BB over 18 innings. The 30-year-old has been a full-time reliever each of the last two seasons after missing the 2023 campaign following lat surgery. Martin will try to win a spot in the Cubs' bullpen but is likely ticketed for Triple-A Iowa to kick off the 2026 season.

Outrighted to Norfolk Martin cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin will officially stick in the Orioles organization after being designated for assignment Tuesday. He'll provide the club with organizational bullpen depth at Norfolk, but after putting up a 5.29 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 32.1 innings in the minors, he's unlikely to get another opportunity with the O's this year.

Cut loose from 40-man The Orioles designated Martin for assignment Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martin appeared in 10 games in August, in which he surrendered 14 total runs on 19 hits and five walks across 10.2 innings. He is getting cut loose from the Orioles along with Elvin Rodriguez as Baltimore reinstates both Tyler Wells (elbow) and Jorge Mateo (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Winds up with save Martin picked up the save during Tuesday's extra-innings win against the Red Sox, pitching a perfect 11th inning.

Impact Martin was the sixth Orioles reliever to pitch in the contest, but an RBI groundout by Samuel Basallo in the top of the 11th frame opened up a save chance for the 29-year-old pitcher. Baltimore's closing job appears to be wide open without Felix Bautista (shoulder), who's out for the season. Keegan Akin has blown his last two save chances and pitched the sixth and seventh innings Tuesday, Yaramil Hiraldo blew a save Tuesday and both Dietrich Enns and Yennier Cano have been shaky lately. Outside of a six-run outing against Philadelphia on Aug. 4, Martin has a 15.4 ERA and a 15:5 K:BB across 11.2 innings, which could be enough to earn some save chances in the closing weeks of the regular season.

Pummeled for six runs Martin was roughed up for six runs while failing to record an out in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

Impact Martin notched a save last week against the Blue Jays, thrusting himself into the closer conversation as part of a bullpen that's lost Felix Bautista (shoulder) to injury and Gregory Soto, Seranthony Dominguez and Andrew Kittredge to trades. However, in his two appearances since that save Martin has entered in the sixth inning both times. He managed to pitch around a couple hits in the first of those outings, but he was not so lucky Monday. The Orioles' bullpen remains unsettled, but it seems unlikely Martin will be entrusted with another save chance anytime soon.

Secures first career save Martin recorded his first career save in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, walking one and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact With Felix Bautista (shoulder) on the shelf, Gregory Soto a Met and Seranthony Dominguez getting traded to Toronto between games of the twin bill, high-leverage spots are up for grabs in the Baltimore bullpen. Yennier Cano pitched the seventh inning in the matinee, a 16-4 rout for the O's, while Andrew Kittredge worked the eighth in the nightcap against the heart of the Jays' order before handing things over to Martin for the ninth. The 29-year-old right-hander was once a promising prospect in the Houston system, but injuries have turned him into something of a journeyman. Martin doesn't quite have elite stuff as a reliever -- his fastball topped out at 97 mph Tuesday, and his slider has a whiff rate of just 16.7 percent this year -- but interim manager Tony Mansolino is apparently willing to give him a look as part of the late-inning mix. Kittredge's usage Tuesday suggests he might be the favorite to handle the bulk of the save chances while Bautista is out, but he also might be the next arm shipped out before the trade deadline.

Re-ups with O's The Orioles signed Martin to a one-year major league contract Friday.

Impact Baltimore designated Martin for assignment Sunday, and he elected free agency. However, he'll remain with the Orioles after signing a one-year deal. Martin threw 1.1 scoreless innings in his only big-league appearance this season and logged a 5.29 ERA in 32.1 innings at Triple-A Norfolk.

Elects free agency Martin cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Martin pitched 1.1 scoreless frames July 2 in his first major-league appearance since 2022, but he hasn't appeared in a game since then and will now look elsewhere for his next opportunity. The 29-year-old righty owns a 5.29 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 32.1 innings in Triple-A this year, so he's most likely to land with another organization on a minor-league pact.

Dropped from 40-man roster The Orioles designated Martin for assignment Sunday.

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on July 2, Martin tossed 1.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen later that day in a game against the Rangers but went unused since then. The Orioles opted to swap Martin out of their bullpen for another left-handed arm in Grant Wolfram, who was recalled from Norfolk. Since Martin has previously been outrighted to the minors, he'll have the ability to elect free agency in the likely event that he clears waivers.

Gets first look in majors since '22 The Orioles selected Martin's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Impact Martin is back in the big leagues for the first time since 2022, when he made seven appearances (two starts) for Arizona. Since undergoing surgery in March 2023 to repair a right lat tendon tear and missing that entire season, Martin has made the full-time move to the bullpen. He owns a 5.29 ERA in 29 appearances at Norfolk this season but was sharp throughout June, permitting just one earned run on three hits and four walks while striking out eight over 10 innings.
