    Rangers' Chris Martin: Earns first save of 2025

    Chris Martin struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his first save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Red Sox.Martin got the call to close things out Saturday after Luke Jackson was used for the first two games of the series. Martin had no problem getting through the inning and earned the save after striking out Triston Casas. Martin needed only 13 pitches (nine strikes), and given the Texas Rangers used five relievers in Saturday's win, he could have his number called in Sunday's series finale.

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Could be used as setup man

    Chris Martin struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning Monday as the Texas Rangers topped the Royals in exhibition play.After Robert Garcia pitched the seventh inning, Martin handled the eighth and Luke Jackson closed things out in the ninth. After the game, manager Bruce Bochy said it was "pretty close" to how he plans to use his late-inning mix this season, although he added that the roles are not yet completely defined, Michael Bier of Foul Territory TV reports. Martin has been viewed as the top candidate to close for the Rangers, but Bochy might be considering him in more of a setup role. It's a situation that still lacks clarity as we close in on Opening Day.

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Makes spring debut

    Chris Martin struck out one over a scoreless fourth inning in Sunday's spring game against the Diamondbacks.Martin, who missed time earlier in camp due to the flu, made his Cactus League debut Sunday. Setting down the side in order on 15 pitches (nine strikes), Martin has been mentioned as a top candidate for the team's closer role, although Texas manager Bruce Bochy said that he may not "have a defined closer," Jack Magruder of MLB.com reports. However the manager chooses to close out games, Martin is expected to be one of the trusted arms Bochy turns to in the ninth inning.

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Set for spring debut Sunday

    Chris Martin (illness) is listed as one of the relievers scheduled to pitch for the Texas Rangers in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.The veteran right-hander will be making his spring debut after a bout with the flu earlier in camp put him behind schedule compared to the club's other healthy bullpen options. Martin will likely need only a handful of tuneup outings during the Cactus League to prepare himself for the beginning of the season. He'll be a candidate to factor into the Rangers' unsettled closing picture after he turned in a 3.45 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 50:3 K:BB in 44.1 innings with Boston in 2024.

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Battling illness

    Chris Martin has been dealing with the flu over the past few days, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.Martin was still able to play catch Friday, and with the Texas Rangers' first Cactus League game still a week away, it's unlikely that his illness will cause him to miss any spring training reps. The 38-year-old righty turned in a 3.45 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 44.1 innings with the Red Sox last season, and he has a good chance to open 2025 as the Rangers' primary closer.

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Latches on with Rangers

    Chris Martin signed a one-year contract with Texas on Monday.Martin will join the Texas Rangers after turning in two solid years in Boston. He posted a 3.45 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 50:3 K:BB across 44.1 innings a season ago, picking up two saves along the way. Texas doesn't currently have many arms in the bullpen with closer experience, so a veteran like Martin could have a chance to nab a few saves in 2025 depending on how the rest of the offseason unfolds.

    Red Sox's Chris Martin: Works ninth to collect win Tuesday

    Chris Martin (3-1) picked up the win Tuesday, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning during Boston's 6-5 extra-inning victory over Toronto.The veteran righty worked the bottom of the ninth in a tie game on the road, so he wasn't being held back for a potential save chance -- Chase Shugart wound up recording the save instead, the first for a Boston Red Sox reliever since Kenley Jansen (shoulder) was shut down. Martin still appears to be the top choice for high-leverage spots, but he's had a bumpy September, posting a 7.71 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through seven innings with an 8:1 K:BB.

    Red Sox's Chris Martin: Moves past illness

    Chris Martin (illness) made relief appearances Wednesday against the Orioles and Thursday against the Yankees, tossing a pair of scoreless innings and striking out three batters while giving up one hit and no walks.Martin appeared out of the bullpen just once in the first week of September before manager Alex Cora disclosed last Sunday that the reliever was battling an illness. Cora's decision to use Martin on consecutive days would seem to imply that the right-hander is now feeling back to full strength after the bout with the ailment.

The 38-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener against the Orioles.
