Scouting Report: Chris Wright
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Chris Martin, 39-year-old Texas Rangers relief pitcher, has been sidelined since April 15 with a right shoulder impingement. He began a Triple-A rehab assignment in mid-May after clearing live batting practice. In his first rehab appearance on May 13, Martin allowed 4 runs on 4 hits in 2/3 innings with 2 home runs, both on his splitter. This continues a troubling trend from his 2026 season where opponents hit .667 against his splitter with a 1.000 slugging percentage and zero whiffs. His 2026 ERA stands at 7.11 through 8 games. Last season he was a valuable high-leverage reliever when healthy.
Strengths
- Physically felt good during rehab appearance
- Successfully completed 25-pitch live batting practice without issue
