Martin (5-9) came away with the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six across five innings.
Martin yielded at least two baserunners in two of the five frames he pitched, but he was able to limit the damage to two solo home runs from Kody Clemens and Matt Wallner in the second and fourth innings, respectively. 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. He now sits at a 3.93 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 80:35 K:BB across 112.1 innings this season. Martin will look for win number six in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Yankees.

Rotowire
Martin (2-8) took the loss Tuesday against the Rays, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out three in five innings.

He now owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB in 85.2 innings and lines up for another start at home against the Phillies next week.

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.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Out with forearm strain
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Martin on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a right forearm strain.
The right-hander was penciled in to start Friday against the Blue Jays, but he's instead landed on the IL. Martin will be eligible to return from the shelf in early July, but given the nature of the injury, he could wind up missing more than the minimum 15 days. Chicago has yet to announce a replacement starter for Friday's contest.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Continues to provide length in loss
Rotowire
Martin (2-7) took the loss Thursday against the Astros after giving up four runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Martin continues to supply length for the White Sox, tossing at least six frames for his sixth start in a row. However, the long ball remains an issue for the 28-year-old right-hander, who has now served up at least one homer in four straight outings. Martin owns a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP but has just 53 punchouts through 80.2 innings, so his lack of strikeout potential will likely render him more of a deep-league streaming option versus the Cardinals his next time out.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Season-high seven Ks in no-decision
Rotowire
Martin didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Royals after giving up two runs on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
Martin submitted a season-high seven punchouts while turning in his fifth consecutive start of at least six frames. The right-hander is settling in as a serviceable member of Chicago's rotation in 2025, given he's now fired at least six innings while allowing two runs or fewer seven times among his 13 appearances. Martin's lack of strikeout upside may continue to limit his fantasy value, as he's averaging just 5.8 strikeouts per nine innings, but he owns a steady 3.62 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB through 74.2 innings ahead of his next scheduled start against the the Astros.

Martin will take a 3.67 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB through 68.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Tigers.
