DAVIS MARTIN NEWS

Sliding into rotation Martin will move into the White Sox' rotation following the trade of Erick Fedde, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin made a 2.2-inning relief appearance Saturday versus the Mariners in what was his first outing at the big-league level since he had Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. He was a starter prior to the operation and in seven rehab appearances this year, with his longest outing at Triple-A Charlotte being four innings and 64 pitches. The White Sox will be careful with Martin's workload down the stretch, but he will be auditioning for a spot in the 2025 rotation.

Martin threw four scoreless innings in his last rehab start July 20, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out four.

Off IL, starting at Triple-A Martin (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will start for Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2023 but has completed his lengthy rehab process and will join Charlotte's starting rotation. The 27-year-old started in nine of his 14 appearances with the White Sox last season and he's still on the team's 40-man roster, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him be recalled during the second half of 2024.

Optioned to Triple-A Martin (elbow) was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday

Impact Martin underwent Tommy John surgery last May and was never going to be an option for the White Sox to begin the season. The 27-year-old has resumed throwing off a mound and will continue building up his arm before hopefully starting a minor-league rehab assignment sometime during the first half.

Throws another bullpen session Martin (elbow) threw his second bullpen session of the spring on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, Martin threw 20 fastballs in the session and sat in the 84-to-86 mph range. He will incorporate changeups during his next bullpen session next Monday and before the end of spring will progress to throwing off the mound twice per week. The 27-year-old is unlikely to be an option for the White Sox before the second half.

White Sox RHP Davis Martin has Tommy John surgery Chicago White Sox right-hander Davis Martin underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow, the team announced Wednesday.

Gets Tommy John surgery Martin announced Wednesday that he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The White Sox talked Martin up as a rotation candidate this spring, but he got sent to Triple-A Charlotte before Opening Day and his forearm/elbow began barking after just three starts with the affiliate. Given that Tommy John surgery usually entails a recovery timeline of 14-to-16 months, the 26-year-old will likely be sidelined until well into the second half of the 2024 season.

Placed on minor-league IL Martin was placed on the injured list Wednesday at Triple-A Charlotte with a right forearm strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin has enjoyed a nice season-opening stretch in the Charlotte rotation, delivering a 2.81 ERA with 20 strikeouts through three starts covering 16 innings. It's unclear at this point when he might be able to return to action on the farm.

Sent to minors The White Sox optioned Martin to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The right-hander has struggled with a 5.25 ERA in 12 innings of Grapefruit League action. That said, Martin did post a respectable, albeit unimpressive 4.83 ERA and provided rotation depth last season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the White Sox at some point in 2023.

Over biceps injury Martin said Friday that the right biceps soreness which forced him from his final start of last season was a non-issue this offseason, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Martin took a couple weeks off from throwing after the season and then went through his normal offseason training. The right-hander said his goal is to throw 170-180 innings this season, and the White Sox might need him to with Mike Clevinger's status up in the air due to an ongoing MLB investigation into domestic violence allegations.

Impact Martin struggled mightily to begin Wednesday's matchup, giving up nine runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one in 1.2 innings prior to his departure. It's possible that his injury contributed to his struggles, although it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his offseason program. The right-hander made 14 appearances (nine starts) in the majors this year and posted a 4.83 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 63.1 innings.

Davis Martin fans eight in White Sox' 3-1 win over Padres Jimenez homers, Moncada has three hits as White Sox win second straight

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • SUNTIMES.COM

Picks up win Friday Martin (3-5) allowed a run on six hits and a hit batter while striking out eight over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Impact Martin limited the damage to a Josh Bell RBI single in the second inning. This was the second time in three starts since returning to the majors that Martin allowed just one run, and his eight strikeouts marked a season high. The right-hander now has a 3.65 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB through 61.2 innings across 13 appearances (eight starts). He's tentatively projected for one more start, which would be against Minnesota next week.

Records second quality start Martin (2-5) took the loss against Detroit on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings.

Impact As in his previous outing, Martin faced Detroit and lasted six innings to record a quality start. He was less sharp in this appearance, however, surrendering over twice as many hits and three runs. On a positive note, Martin rebounded nicely after giving up a two-run homer in the first inning, yielding just one more run the rest of the way. The rookie right-hander's 2-5 record is accompanied by a 3.86 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB over 56 innings.

Nabs another start Martin is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Impact He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation following his call-up from Triple-A Charlotte on Sept. 17. Martin proceeded to strike out five while allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk over six innings against this same Tigers team. The 25-year-old right-hander, who owns a 3.78 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 50 big-league innings this season, could make for an appealing streaming option in a rematch with the weak Tigers offense.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out five batters Martin did not factor into the decision against Detroit on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out five and walking one over six innings.

Impact Martin pitched well enough to earn the win Saturday, but the game would go into extra innings. The young righty did earn a quality start in the outing, his first in limited time this season. Martin may have earned another turn in the rotation as he has had back-to-back impressive outings. In his last two starts, he has given up just one earned run over 11 innings to go along with six hits, two walks and seven strikeouts. His season ERA now sits at 3.78.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Martin will start Saturday's game against the Tigers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Martin was called up Saturday, and he'll immediately draw a start after Johnny Cueto (illness) was scratched from his scheduled start. Martin threw an inning at Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, so it's possible that he's on a pitch count during Saturday's outing.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Saturday Martin was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Martin was sent down by the White Sox in early September, but he'll rejoin the big-league club after Michael Kopech (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Martin has made 10 appearances (five starts) for the White Sox this year and has posted a 4.09 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 44 innings. Kopech was slated to start Sunday against the Tigers, and it's not yet clear whether Martin will immediately take his place in the rotation since he tossed an inning at Charlotte on Thursday.

Impact The 25-year-old was called up as the 27th man for the twin bill and started the nightcap, and the only run he gave up came via a solo homer from Vinnie Pasquantino. Martin has a 4.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 36 innings this season and should remain in the mix for a promotion down the stretch whenever Chicago requires pitching depth.

Starting Game 2 of twin bill The White Sox recalled Martin from Triple-A Charlotte and will have him start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Kansas City.

Impact Chicago is designating Martin as its 27th man for the twin bill, which means he'll head back to Charlotte immediately after the spot start. Martin has previously made seven appearances and three starts for the White Sox this season, turning in a 4.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 30.1 innings in those outings.
