Carlos Martinez Considered Day-To-Day
4 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (thumb) is considered day-to-day with a bruised right thumb. Martinez suffered the injury in his lone at-bat on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies, but it sounds as though the right-hander won't have any problem making his next start. Before leaving the game, he allowed a solo home run while striking out two and walking one in 3 1/3 innings in Colorado. C-Mart had a rough June (10.87 ERA, 25 strikeouts, 19 walks in 25 2/3 innings) and has an ugly 6.23 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 82 1/3 innings over his 16 starts for the Cardinals in 2021. Martinez has gone from a career-high 26.5 percent strikeout rate in 2019 to a career-low 15.7 percent K rate this year, which should be concerning to his fantasy managers. Proceed with plenty of caution his next time out.
