White Sox's Davis Martin: Fans five in no-decision
Rotowire
Martin didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Yankees, surrendering three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.
Martin labored through the opening frame, needing 26 pitches to complete the inning, with a run coming across before he was able to escape. The right-hander later gave up back-to-back singles in the fifth inning before being lifted, and both runners eventually came around to score. It was just the third time all season that Martin failed to complete five innings in 25 starts. The 28-year-old will finish the regular season with a 4.10 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 104:48 K:BB across 142.2 innings.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Labors early in no-decision
Rotowire
Martin allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Thursday.
Martin gave up a two-run home run to Cody Bellinger in the first inning and yielded a solo shot to Jazz Chisholm in the second.

This was the first time he's failed to complete four innings all year and just the second time in 21 appearances (20 starts) he's fallen short of five frames. The right-hander has a 4.03 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 85:38 K:BB through 116 innings. His numbers don't pop off the page, but he's been a reliable innings-eater for the White Sox.

Saturday marked just the fourth time Martin has recorded at least six strikeouts this season, and he has yielded three earned runs or less in five of six starts since the All-Star break.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Set for Tuesday return
Rotowire
Martin (forearm) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Rays, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Martin completed his last rehab appearance July 13 at Triple-A Charlotte, and the club has since determined the right-hander is ready to return from the IL. He's been on the shelf since June 12 due to a right forearm strain, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the White Sox monitor his pitch count closely during Tuesday's outing.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Monday that Martin (forearm) will head out on a minor-league rehab assignment later this week, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
While Martin won't be ready to return from the 15-day injured list until after the All-Star break, he may need just one or two starts in the minors to build back up after he was initially shelved June 20 due to a right forearm strain. The club revealed that the tentative plan is for Martin to pitch Wednesday and Sunday for Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Before getting hurt, Martin had been pitching effectively for Chicago, covering at least six innings in six straight starts while submitting a 3.55 ERA and 1.03 WHIP.
