Diamondbacks’ Justin Martinez Faces Uncertain Future After Sudden Shoulder Injury Landing Him on 15-Day IL
You could see the warning signs in that ninth-inning stutter: with a three-run cushion, Martinez gave up a homer to Tyrone Taylor, then walked two dangerous hitters in Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto before finally handing things over to Ryan Thompson. The Dbacks held on for a tight 4-3 win, but Martinez’s fastball—once firing in the 100s—was clocked at 95 to 96 mph, a noticeable dip from recent games and well off his peak from last season. It all pointed toward fatigue and the nagging shoulder issue he’d been dealing with during April, which sent him back to Arizona for an MRI.
