    Davis Martin took a tough loss after allowing one run through 5 2/3 innings versus the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Martin, who opened up 9-2 through 13 turns, is now winless in his last six starts, even though he’s pitched very well in three of those games. He allowed four hits, walked two and struck out five today. He’ll pitch at home against Houston next Friday.

    Martin breezed through the first five innings here and it seemed like he was on his way to putting his recent cold stretch behind him. Then, he lost it in the sixth inning. Starting the frame with just 75 pitches and having allowed only four base runners to that point, he gave up three hits, hit a batter, was pulled, and all of the runners reliever Bryan Hudson inherited came around to score. Martin threw a first-pitch ball to all four batters that inning and only threw a first-pitch strike to seven of the 23 batters he faced in this game. His star is fading fast with a 5.82 ERA since June 1st and it’s difficult to trust him moving forward. Next up is a meeting with the Yankees at home.

    The White Sox will return from the break with their top three starters going. This will also set up Erick Fedde for a two-start week against Texas and Houston the following week.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin walked two and threw a run-scoring wild pitch in a three-run third innings and then gave up four singles in a two-run fourth. That took him up to 84 pitches, and the White Sox decided against bringing him back out for the fifth. It’s just the fourth time in 18 starts that martin has allowed more than three runs. However, all four of those have come in his last nine outings. He closes out the first half 9-4 with a 3.41 ERA, and he seems like a shaky bet for the rest of the season.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin just could not command the baseball in this one, issuing five free passes in his abbreviated outing. It’s also the first time in 61 career starts that he failed to record a single strikeout. All of the damage done against him came in the third inning as Travis Bazzana smacked an RBI double and Brayan Rocchio worked a bases-loaded walk. Martin threw just 37 of his 73 pitches for strikes, generating just three whiffs and posting a miserable CSW of just 14 percent. He’ll look to bounce back and finish the first half strong as he carries a 9-3 record, 3.08 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 90/29 K/BB ratio (96 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Red Sox.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin had a relatively easy day on the mound as he coasted through five scoreless innings, pitching into the sixth in a no-decision against the Royals. After stranding runners on second and third in the second inning, he allowed just one other runner to reach scoring position, leaving Bobby Witt Jr. at second as he departed with one out in the sixth. Martin struck out three. That’s two strong starts now following his nine-run outing against the Yankees on June 16. The 29-year-old right-hander will take a 3.00 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 90/24 K/BB ratio across 93 innings into a start against the Guardians in Cleveland on Thursday.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin struck out four in the quality start, lowering his ERA to 3.18. He was tagged for nine earned runs against the Yankees last time out and for six runs against the Twins two starts earlier. He’s been uneven lately, but regression to the mean hasn’t cratered his usability in fantasy just yet. He’ll aim to keep limiting homers and walks in his next outing at home against the Royals.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin allowed a Spencer Jones solo homer in the second, four runs on three hits and three walks in the third and four more runs on two singles and two homers before being pulled in the fourth. It doubled his total of homers allowed from three to six this season. It’s his second poor outing in the last three; he allowed 10 hits and three walks in the start against the Twins 14 days ago and eight hits and three walks in this one. In none of his other 12 starts has he allowed more than seven hits or walked more than two. He’s still 9-3 with a 3.31 ERA overall, and while we’d expect that ERA to continue to increase, his 83/20 K/BB in 81 2/3 innings suggests that he could maintain some mixed-league value. He’ll look to bounce back against the Tigers on Sunday.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin’s magic just will not run out. He washed away a poor outing last time out against the Twins by going toe-to-toe with Chris Sale and out-pitching him. Martin scattered just six hits, only one of which went for extra bases, and was in control throughout. It was beautiful to see practically everything working for him too. Four different pitches – his fastball, cutter, curveball, and slider – each forced at least three swings-and-misses. He also navigated around 11 hard-hit balls, but it’s just been one of those seasons. On the year so far, Martin has a 2.41 ERA, 79 strikeouts, and 17 walks across 78 1/3 innings. He’s scheduled to face the Yankees and Tigers in a two-start week coming up with both starts on the road.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin gave up 10 hits, walked three and struck out two. It was a tough outing for Martin, who allowed 13 baserunners, gave up six runs, had only two strikeouts and failed to complete five innings. His ERA rose to just 2.61 after the shellacking. Martin is lined up to face the Braves at home next week.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #65
    Martin got 18 outs on 84 pitches, with a 33 percent whiff rate (14 of 42) and a 33 percent CSW (28 of 84). He’s up to 8-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 12 starts. Stuff models still aren’t overly impressed by him, and it seems likely there will be some regression going forward, but with his walk rate down and groundball rate climbing, he could remain somewhat above average. He’ll face the Twins again next week in Minnesota.

    Hayden Wesneski (elbow) is a candidate to start on Wednesday against the Angels.

    A simple connect the dots exercise seems to indicate that Wesneski, who threw a bullpen session in Los Angeles after traveling with the club, will come off the injured list to take Spencer Arrighetti’s spot in Houston’s rotation. The 28-year-old hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since last May when he suffered an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. It’s a decent matchup for streaming purposes and Wesneski has looked good in recent rehab outings, including striking out seven over four shutout frames for Triple-A Sugar Land last Friday. He’s at least worth a speculative pickup in extremely deep leagues.

    Esmerlyn Valdez was removed from Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks after being hit by a pitch on the left hand.

    Valdez was struck by a pitch on the left hand during the fourth inning of Monday’s series opener in Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old rookie sensation, who has hit 14 homers in 38 games this season, will head for X-ray to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

    Monday’s game between the Guardians and Reds was postponed due to inclement weather.

    It’ll be made up as a split doubleheader on Tuesday instead. Monday’s original starters Chase Burns and Slade Cecconi will presumably beb pushed back to take the ball at some point during the twin bill.

    Brewers signed second-round pick OF Sawyer Strosnider.

    Strosnider receives a $2.1 million signing bonus, which is well above the $1.35 million slot value for the 60th overall pick. The 21-year-old outfielder possesses tremendous athleticism and elite bat speed, allowing him to generate plus raw power while remaining a stolen-base threat. Questions about his hit tool and offensive approach are the primary reasons he slipped to the end of the second round, but he couldn’t have landed in a much better organization. Milwaukee’s player development engine has earned a reputation for maximizing offensive talent, and if the Brewers can help Strosnider tighten his swing decisions, the physical tools are loud enough for him to develop into an impact fantasy contributor someday.

    Dodgers signed first-round pick SS Bo Lowrance.

    Lowrance is one of the more intriguing fantasy prospects from this draft class, especially since he landed in Los Angeles with the 40th pick. The 18-year-old possesses an excellent hit tool and athleticism for his size at 6-foot-5 and should grow into some over-the-fence power as he matures physically. He’s a name to watch in long-term keeper and dynasty leagues.

    Brewers signed first-round pick SS Trey Ebel.

    Ebel heads to Milwaukee to join his older brother Brady, who was the club’s first-round pick last year. The 17-year-old shortstop, who is the son of Dodgers third base coach Dino Ebel, figures to stick at shortstop and boasts an above-average hit tool for his age. He’s obviously a long ways from reaching the big leagues.

    Cubs signed first-round pick RHP Cade Townsend.

    Townsend receives a below-slot deal for $3.1 million after being taken 23rd overall by Chicago earlier this month. The 21-year-old instantly becomes one of the club’s better pitching prospects after a strong collegiate career at Mississippi State.

    Tigers signed first-round pick RHP Cameron Flukey.

    It’s a bit of a surprise that Flukey fell to the 22nd pick and the Tigers were able to sign him for $3.8 million. The 21-year-old righty was limited to just 24 starts in his final collegiate campaign at Coastal Carolina, but his stuff remained strong enough to ensure that he would still be a first-rounder. There’s an argument to be made that he’s the second-best pitching prospect in this draft class.

    Padres signed first-round pick RHP Coleman Borthwick.

    Borthwick receives a $3.8 million signing bonus after being taken by San Diego with the 21st overall pick earlier this month. The 18-year-old prep righty boasts a four-pitch repertoire and has the prototypical size at 6-foot-6 to envision him becoming a rotation mainstay at the highest level someday.

    Guardians signed first-round pick RHP Liam Peterson.

    Peterson gets the full $4.53 million slot value from the Guardians as the 19th overall pick in the draft. The 21-year-old is mostly projection at this stage of his development, but he’s armed with a near-elite slider and misses plenty of bats. He’s not close to making a fantasy impact, but he’s interesting.
