Davis Martin is set to return to the Chicago White Sox starting rotation to face the Tampa Bay Rays after being sidelined with a right forearm strain. Martin last pitched in the majors on June 12 before being placed on the injured list. He completed two rehab starts with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Martin expressed frustration with being sidelined, emphasizing the desire of pitchers to perform regularly and balance health with performance over the season. White Sox's general manager commented on Martin's injury being muscular and the necessary precautions taken.
"I don't like it. I pride myself on showing up every five days and no one has to worry about what Davis Martin is doing; he just shows up, he does his job and then he goes home."
"To take IL stints, do stuff like that, it kind of rubs me the wrong way and I don't really like it."
"It's just trying to balance the health of your career and also just performance on the field, throughout the season."
