Marlins Claim Seth Martinez
1 min agoThe Miami Marlins have claimed right-handed pitcher Seth Martinez off waivers. The Marlins opened a spot on the 40-man roster for Martinez by placing starting pitcher Eury Perez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. Martinez was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier this week. Martinez has spent his entire MLB career with the Houston Astros. Last summer, Martinez logged 52 2/3 innings of relief and posted a 3.59 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. He only tallied 36 strikeouts but was able to limit hard contact as he generated a strong 6.7 percent barrel rate. This was a nice improvement as he held a much higher 5.23 ERA and a 1,49 WHIP across 43 innings of relief during the 2023 campaign. Fantasy managers should expect the 30-year-old to compete for a spot in the Miami bullpen during spring training.
