Diamondbacks’ Justin Martinez Faces Uncertain Future After Sudden Shoulder Injury Landing Him on 15-Day IL
To replace Martinez, the Diamondbacks recalled left-hander José Castillo from Triple-A Reno. Left-handed reliever A.J. Puk (left elbow inflammation) was moved to the 60-day injured list.
Martinez entered with a three-run lead in the ninth inning, but allowed Tyrone Taylor’s homer before walking Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Ryan Thompson got the final three outs in the 4-3 win.
Martinez’s fastball was clocked between 95 and 96 mph — down a couple of mph from his previous appearances against the Atlanta Braves and down 5 mph from his peak velocity last season.
