"The Marlins announced Wednesday that they've selected the contract of righty Seth Martinez from Triple-A Jacksonville and placed fellow righty Janson Junk on the 15-day injured list due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm. Miami also recalled right-hander Freddy Tarnok from Jacksonville and optioned lefty Josh Simpson to Triple-A in his place. The Fish already had an open spot on the 40-man roster, so a corresponding 40-man move for Martinez wasn't necessary."
"The call back to the big leagues is a nice early birthday present for Martinez, who'll turn 31 on Friday. The Arizona State product has pitched in parts of four major league seasons, all with the Astros, for whom he suited up in 2021-24. Martinez has 137 1/3 innings at the big league level in his career, during which he's produced a 3.93 ERA (4.24 FIP, 4.19 SIERA) with a 20.7% strikeout rate, a 9.2% walk rate and a 39.6% ground-ball rate."
"Martinez came to the Marlins via waivers at the end of a tumultuous offseason. Houston placed him on waivers back in November, setting off a string of transactions that sent him from the D-backs, to the Marlins, to the Mariners and back to Miami over a span of four months. The Fish finally succeeded at passing Martinez through waivers at the end of spring training, and he's spent the entire year with their top affiliate in Jacksonville, where he's pitched well."
The Marlins promoted right-hander Seth Martinez from Triple-A Jacksonville and placed righty Janson Junk on the 15-day injured list for right ulnar nerve irritation, while recalling Freddy Tarnok and optioning Josh Simpson. Martinez, who turns 31 Friday, has four MLB seasons of experience with the Astros and 137 1/3 big-league innings, posting a 3.93 ERA with a 20.7% strikeout rate, 9.2% walk rate and 39.6% ground-ball rate. Martinez arrived in Miami via multiple waiver moves and has a 3.71 ERA across 43 2/3 innings with Triple-A Jacksonville this season.
