It really comes as no surprise that Astros‘ prospect Martin is making his return to the Minor Leagues. It was apparent in his performances in these last few games that he wasn’t quite ready for the Big Leagues. Only time will tell if Valdez will succeed in his place.
According to Jake Kaplan, Houston beat writer for The Athletic, Martin will be back with the Round Rock Express. Relief pitcher Reymin Guduan will be called up from the AAA Minor League team to fill the open slot.
Martin’s debut against the Texas Rangers was a relatively good outing.
