The Boston Red Sox added some bullpen arms before the trade deadline, and now they are expecting one of their key relievers to return from injury soon.
acquiring Luis García“Not only have the Red Sox bolstered their bullpen with multiple trade acquisitions, but they are expected to get trusted setup man Martin back in the fold, perhaps for the start of the next homestand on Aug. 9.,” MLB.com reported. “Martin is expected to throw a bullpen session prior to Saturday's game in Texas and go on a Minor League rehab assignment -- which might only be one outing -- early next week.
Martin is 2-1 this season with a 3.42 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings pitched. Last season, he was 4-1 with a phenomenal 1.05 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 51 1/3 innings for the Red Sox. Martin’s return could finally put in place a playoff-ready bullpen for Boston as it wrestles its way into a Wild Card berth throughout August and September.Colin Keane is a contributing journalist for "Boston Red Sox On SI."
