2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Spins second quality start
Martin (1-1) earned the win Friday over the Red Sox, allowing one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six-plus innings.
ANALYSIS
The White Sox's offense erupted early in this contest, giving Martin plenty of support. He also pitched well, throwing 63 of 89 pitches for strikes to earn his second quality start in three outings this season. He's now at a 4.24 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 17 innings across three starts. The right-hander will likely struggle for wins while pitching for a poor team, and he hasn't historically displayed much strikeout upside at the major-league level. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Martin underwent Tommy John Surgery in May likely leaving him on the sidelines in his recovery until the middle of the season in 2024. The right hander was given a shot to break camp in 2023 in the rotation, but ultimately was assigned to Triple-A Charlotte making three starts before the surgery to the tune of a 2.81 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 20 strikeouts in 16 innings pitched. Once recovered Davis will likely return to Triple-A where the White Sox can stash him as rotation depth if needed.

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.
