The Texas Rangers made two roster moves in their bullpen on Saturday, reinstating veteran right-handed reliever Chris Martin from the injured list while placing fellow right-hander Jakob Junis on the IL, backdated to Wednesday.
Martin, who is 40 years old, had spent just over a month on the shelf recovering from a right shoulder impingement. Through 12 relief outings this season, he posted a 1-1 record with a 7.84 ERA. Over the course of his 11-year career, Martin has appeared in 430 relief games for seven different organizations, compiling a 19-25 record and a 3.45 ERA.
Junis, 33, is being sidelined by a right hip impingement. He has been solid for Texas this season, going 1-1 with a 2.80 ERA across 31 appearances, including one start. In 10 seasons at the major league level, Junis owns a 47-47 record and a 4.29 ERA over 280 appearances — 117 of which were starts — spread across six different clubs.
