Per his Instagram story, the Arizona Diamondbacks have called up 21-year-old RHP Justin Martinez from Triple-A Reno.
Martinez has been part of the Diamondbacks organization since 2018. He began by playing for the Dominican Summer League team.
Since then, Martinez has worked his way up through the ranks by throwing over 100 MPH on the mound. Martinez finally made his Triple-A debut last fall.
So far in 2023, Justin Martinez has a 4.18 ERA through 25 appearances. He also has an impressive 38 strikeouts in 28 innings pitched.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2021, Martinez has developed into a potential star for the Diamondbacks.
Now, the question is who the D-backs will send down in return.
Stay tuned for more updates, as the Diamondbacks have yet to make an official announcement on their roster move.
