Seth Martinez Designated For Assignment
2 days agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks designated right-hander Seth Martinez for assignment on Monday to make room for right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman on their 40-man roster. Martinez was claimed off waiver by the Diamondbacks earlier this offseason, but he could be on the move again before the start of the 2025 regular season. The 30-year-old former 17th-round pick by the Athletics in 2016 out of Arizona State University broke into the big leagues in 2021 with the Houston Astros and pitched all four of his big-league seasons with the team. In his four years with Houston, Martinez has a 3.93 ERA (4.24 FIP), a 1.30 WHIP, two saves and a 122:54 K:BB in 137 1/3 relief innings. If he isn't claimed off waivers by another team or traded, he could return to Arizona and accept an assignment to the minors to start the 2025 season.
