Texas Rangers designate veteran relief pitcher Chris Martin for assignment, according to multiple reports. The move follows a recent period on the injured list, with one outlet noting it is his third IL stint. The designation removes Martin from the Rangers’ active roster and makes him available to be claimed by other teams. If he clears waivers, the Rangers can assign him to a minor-league affiliate or pursue another roster option consistent with MLB rules. The reports do not indicate a specific injury diagnosis or a confirmed timeline for his return, focusing instead on the roster transaction itself and the fact that it comes after recurring time on the IL. Martin has been used in relief roles for the Rangers and the designation signals the team is looking for roster flexibility at the bullpen level. Additional outcomes—including whether any club claims Martin—depend on waiver activity after the designation.
