Chris Martin Sidelined with Calf Strain, Expected to Miss 4-6 Weeks

Texas Rangers right-hander Chris Martin has been placed on the injured list with a left calf strain, an injury suffered during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Manager Bruce Bochy stated that Martin is expected to miss four to six weeks, marking a significant blow to the Rangers' bullpen. The 39-year-old reliever has been a reliable late-inning option for the Rangers this season, posting a 2.36 ERA, 36 strikeouts, and two saves over 34 1/3 innings. This is his second stint on the injured list this year, having also missed time in May due to right shoulder fatigue.
