Scouting Report: Chris Stratton
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Chris Martin, 39-year-old Texas Rangers right-handed reliever, has been sidelined since April 15 with a right shoulder impingement. He is currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock after clearing live batting practice. In his first rehab appearance on May 13, Martin allowed 4 runs on 4 hits in 2/3 inning with 2 home runs, both on his splitter. His early 2026 season was marked by poor performance (7.11 ERA in 8 games) before the injury, with opponents hitting .667 against his splitter and slugging 1.000 against it. Martin is approaching one month since last pitching in the majors and faces questions about his effectiveness upon return.
Strengths
- Physically felt good during rehab appearance
- Cleared live batting practice successfully
