Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that he will "mix and match" at closer with Martin and Justin Slaten following the injury to Kenley Jansen (shoulder), Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Martin stepped into the closer role for the Red Sox late last season after Jansen's campaign ended prematurely and will now be in the mix for saves again for the final week of this year. The veteran reliever has put up a 3.48 ERA and superb 48:2 K:BB over 41.1 innings out of Boston's bullpen this season.
