Carlos Martinez will not get the chance to pitch in the playoffs this season.

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez will not pitch again this season because of a shoulder strain, the team announced Saturday.

Martinez left his start Friday after throwing only six pitches, and he walked off the field dejectedly with his glove over his face.

In 31 games (29 starts) this season, Martinez is 14-7 with a 3.01 ERA and 184 strikeouts in 179 2/3 innings.
