Corbin Martin Recalled By Diamondbacks
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Martin was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, the team announced on Twitter. The No. 7 overall prospect in Arizona's system according to MLB Pipeline, Martin is joining the Diamondbacks to take over the roster spot vacated by Luke Weaver, who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right shoulder strain. Martin has been a strikeout machine throughout his career with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate over four seasons in the minors, and in 9 2/3 innings of work at Triple-A this year he has already recorded 14 punch outs. He could be an interesting waiver-wire option to pick up based on that strikeout potential.

Corbin Martin Will Start Sunday Against Washington
3 years agoArizona Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin Martin will start Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Dallas Keuchel was designated for assignment on Wednesday, opening a spot in Arizona's rotation. The 26-year-old pitched out of the bullpen earlier in the season, posting a 4.40 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and a 14: 6 K: BB across 14 1/3 innings. He owned a 5.10 ERA over 12 starts in 60 innings at Triple-A Reno. Managers in deep-league formats can use Martin as a streamer against the Nationals but might want to wait to see how the right-hander fares on Sunday before using him as a fantasy starter.
