The Texas Rangers brought back right-handed pitcher Chris Martin from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday, while sending fellow right-hander Gavin Collyer down to Triple-A Round Rock.
Martin, who will celebrate his 40th birthday next month, was placed on the IL on April 15 due to a right shoulder impingement. Before getting hurt, he posted a 1-1 record with a 7.11 ERA across eight bullpen outings.
Throughout his career since 2014, Martin holds a 19-25 record with a 3.39 ERA and 16 saves across 426 career appearances (all in relief) while playing for seven different teams, including two separate periods with the Rangers (2018-19, 2025-current). He earned a World Series championship with the Atlanta Braves in 2021.
Collyer, 25, first appeared in the major leagues on April 15. In his 14 relief outings, he has compiled a 1-0 record with a 2.84 ERA, recording 10 strikeouts and issuing eight walks over 12 2/3 innings pitched.
