Red Sox DFA Martinez After Brief MLB Stint | MLB News

The Red Sox are making a swift move, designating pitcher Seth Martinez for assignment just three days after promoting him to the majors — where he struggled in one inning, surrendering a run on 22 pitches. With no minor league options left, the team recalled lefty Alec Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester to fill his spot. Martinez, 31, has six MLB seasons under his belt, mostly with Houston, posting a 4.03 ERA and a solid strikeout rate, but his velocity and recent struggles in Worcester (5.55 ERA, homer-heavy) likely played into this decision. Now on waivers, if unclaimed, he’ll hit free agency — a fitting end for a pitcher who’s been both reliable and inconsistent.
