The Boston Red Sox have decided to DFA (Designate for Assignment) veteran pitcher Seth Martinez. According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive, the Red Sox have moved Martinez off the 40-man roster. This comes shortly after Martinez's contract was selected by the American League East team. Now, any team in the league has the chance to claim him for their roster.
In his lone appearance with the Red Sox, Martinez allowed one earned run while tossing two hits and striking out one batter in a single inning. Prior to his stint with Boston, Martinez had a 0-0 record and a 5.40 ERA in six games for the Miami Marlins in the previous season. The Red Sox have used Martinez primarily with Triple-A team Worcester.
Over 33 games this season with Worcester, Martinez posted a 3-2 record, a 5.55 ERA, and 49 strikeouts. Martinez's career numbers in the MLB combine a 6-6 record, a 4.03 ERA, and 127 strikeouts across 118 games played with the Houston Astros, Miami Marlins, and Red Sox.
