2026 Fantasy Outlook
Martin won 7 of his 25 starts with a 4.10 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP which raises more questions than answers for a successful 2026. Martin survived despite a 9.3% K-BB% and a 1.3 HR/9 rate thanks to a fortunate .274 BABIP because a lot of his groundballs found gloves before the could get to the outfield. Martin threw six different pitch types in 2025 preferring the slider to righties and curve to lefties. His changeup limited hitters to a .230 batting average despite just a 18.2% Whiff rate and a .322 xBA. His cutter may have been his best performing pitch even though 9 of his 20 homers came off the pitch. Martin had 13 outings where he allowed two or fewer earned runs in starts over 5 innings with just 6 starts allowing 4 or more earned runs. He almost exactly doubled his workload from 2024 after recovering from a 2023 Tommy John Surgery. This is a back end starter for AL-Only leagues for end-game purposes as there is much more downside than upside in this skill profile. Read Past Outlooks

Lowers ERA to 2.16 with third win
Martin (3-1) earned the win Friday against the Athletics, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts across seven innings.
Analysis
Martin doesn't possess the best stuff, but he's been able to locate his pitches through four starts and is eating innings for Chicago. Martin has now gone seven innings in back-to-back starts against the Royals and Athletics and has done so on fewer than 90 pitches both times. The 29-year-old lowered his ERA to 2.16 and owns a 19:6 K:BB across 25 innings. He's slated to face the Diamondbacks in Arizona next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Martin had a successful recovery from his 2023 Tommy John surgery and made 10 starts for the White Sox once returning to the major league roster at the end of July 2024. Martin, unsurprisingly, did not earn a win in any of his starts, but his 4.37 ERA was the third best of the starting pitchers on the team. His 2024 velocity was nearly all the way back to where it was in 2022, but he also has added a cutter that he did not use when we last saw him in the majors. Martin's cutter and slider are his best pitches, but his four-seamer had a noticeable difference in its batting average (.389) compared to its expected batting average (.275). Martin will be two full years removed from his surgery in early May of 2025, but he will still be pitching for the worst team in baseball, which will once again cut into his ability to get wins. He has enough stuff to get strikeouts, and his pre-injury numbers in the minors show there is some potential upside here. However, the surrounding cast, particularly the bullpen, has to get better for Martin to be anything more than an AL-Only deep-league streamer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be needed in rotation
Martin could be thrust into the White Sox' rotation this season, depending on the outcome of the investigation into Mike Clevinger, Vinnie Duber of CHGO reports.
Analysis
Between Clevinger being investigated by MLB due to allegations of domestic violence and child abuse and the durability concerns with Michael Kopech, the White Sox' rotation depth figures to be tested. Martin could be the next man up after he posted a 4.83 ERA and 48:19 K:BB over 63.1 innings covering 14 appearances -- nine starts -- during his rookie season in 2022. Recent waiver claim A.J. Alexy might also wind up playing an important role for the Southsiders.
