The 28-year-old southpaw wound up missing the entire 2023 season after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder. He was a very effective member of the Rangers’ bullpen from 2019-2022 though, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see the two sides reunite on a minor league deal.

Martin underwent left shoulder surgery last month and there's a strong possibility that he will miss the entire 2023 season. The 27-year-old southpaw compiled a respectable 4.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 40/18 K/BB ratio across 50 innings (55 appearances, one start) last season. He ended last season on the injured list due to a shoulder strain and there were further complications this offseason that ultimately led to the decision to undergo a procedure.

No details yet on a potential timeline for Martin's return, but there's a chance he misses the entire 2023 season. The 27-year-old southpaw, who agreed to terms with the Rangers on Friday to avoid arbitration, posted a solid 4.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 40/18 K/BB ratio across 50 innings (55 appearances, one start) last season. He ended last season on the injured list due to a shoulder strain and his recovery hasn't gone as expected this offseason. There should be some clarity from the Rangers on his recovery timeline following next week's procedure.

According to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, Martin is expected to undergo shoulder surgery and miss most of, if not all of, the 2023 campaign. So, it makes sense that the two sides settled on a modest raise rather than head to an arbitration hearing next month.
