For a pitcher, you might say Nick Martinez handles the changeup well.
With Tyson Ross back in the rotation after spending the first 2 1/2 months recovering from shoulder surgery, Martinez was expected to be back in the bullpen full time as a long reliever.
And during the weekend, the Texas right-hander was a long reliever. But when Andrew Cashner went to the disabled list with an oblique strain, Martinez was suddenly a starter again.
Martinez will make his 10th start on Tuesday against Toronto left-hander Francisco Liriano in the second of a four-game set.
“Whatever the team needs me to do, I’m happy to do it,” Martinez said.
