"The injuries vary in severity, with Palencia on the lighter side, but the overall health of the pitching staff is in shambles. No doubt about it."
"Martin takes Palencia's spot on the active roster and Cade Horton's spot on the 40-man, as he moves to the 60-day IL, being out for three-and-a-half decades or so."
"Among the reclamation signings so far, Martin is a particularly intriguing one because of the profile Lance mentioned, the evolution last season, and the fact that he had a pretty major shoulder surgery in 2023."
Daniel Palencia's injury adds to the Chicago Cubs' pitching woes, prompting the team to call up Corbin Martin from the minor leagues. Martin replaces Palencia on the active roster and Cade Horton on the 40-man roster, who is moving to the 60-day IL. Martin, a former prospect with the Astros, has faced challenges including Tommy John surgery and a shoulder injury in 2023. Despite poor results, his heavy cut-fastball profile offers potential for success in the bullpen.
