Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez has arrived in camp, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
This would typically be a non-story, but Martinez had trouble getting to camp last season due to visa issues. That left him behind the eight ball once he arrived, delaying his rise to the majors. Martinez had no issues this time around, and should participate in workouts Thursday. He's expected to compete for a starting spot in the team's crowded rotation. If he fails to win a starting job, there's a chance the team would use him out of the pen.
