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: Tagged with 10th loss
Rotowire
Martin (6-10) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings.

Kayfus two-run homer in the second, but the White Sox batters weren't able to generate enough runs for the 28-year-old right-hander to avoid the loss. Martin has yielded three earned runs or less in nine of 10 starts since the All-Star break, and over that span he has a 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 51.2 innings. He's tentatively lined up to face the Padres on the road next weekend.

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. He's projected to make his next start at Minnesota.

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: Spins second quality start
Rotowire
Martin (1-1) earned the win Friday over the Red Sox, allowing one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six-plus innings.
The White Sox's offense erupted early in this contest, giving Martin plenty of support. He also pitched well, throwing 63 of 89 pitches for strikes to earn his second quality start in three outings this season. He's now at a 4.24 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 17 innings across three starts. The right-hander will likely struggle for wins while pitching for a poor team, and he hasn't historically displayed much strikeout upside at the major-league level. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics next week.
