Fantasy Impact

Martin has made his first three MLB appearances as a reliever, but the rookie southpaw will make his first start in the bigs Tuesday. It seems unlikely that Martin will pitch deep into the game, and he may be used as more of an opener.

Riley Martin pitched around a one-out single in the bottom of the eighth inning in his major league debut on Monday against the Rays. The Cubs dropped a 6-4 decision in Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact

Martin was called up over the weekend when Cade Horton was placed on the injured list. Martin got Junior Caminero to pop out before allowing a single to Chandler Simpson. However, Martin induced an inning-ending double play off the bat of Nick Fortes to preserve a scoreless debut. Martin will continue to fill a middle relief role for the Cubs, at least until Horton returns.
