What's Happening?
Chris Martin, a reliever for the Texas Rangers, is set to attempt pitchers' fielding practice (PFP) again on Wednesday as part of his recovery from a left calf strain. Martin experienced a setback last week when he first tried to resume PFPs, which has kept him sidelined for most of the second half of the season. The veteran pitcher is expected to require several rehab appearances before he can be activated, even if his practice goes well this time.
Why It's Important?
Martin's return is crucial for the Rangers as they look to bolster their bullpen during the latter part of the season. His absence has been felt, and his successful recovery could provide the team with a much-needed experienced arm. The outcome of his practice session will be closely watched by the team and fans alike, as it could signal his readiness to contribute to the Rangers' playoff push.
What's Next?
If Martin's fielding practice goes smoothly, he will likely begin a series of rehab appearances to ensure his readiness for game action. The Rangers will monitor his progress closely, and his performance in these appearances will determine the timeline for his return to the active roster.
