The Chicago Cubs brought up right-handed pitcher Corbin Martin on Saturday to bolster their relief corps following Daniel Palencia’s move to the injured list on Friday.<\/p>

The organization also shifted right-hander Cade Horton to the 60-day injured list to create space on their 60-man roster. Horton underwent Tommy John surgery on Thursday.<\/p>

Palencia, 26, landed on the IL due to a strained left oblique muscle. The reliever had recorded one save while maintaining a spotless earned run average through his initial five appearances this season. He also contributed to Venezuela’s World Baseball Classic championship, posting three saves without surrendering a run across five tournament outings.<\/p>

Martin, 30, joined the Cubs organization as a free agent in January following a season with the Baltimore Orioles where he compiled a 6.00 ERA in 17 relief outings. Throughout his major league career spanning 34 appearances (including 10 starts) with Houston (2019), Arizona (2021-22), and Baltimore, he holds a 2-5 record with a 6.54 ERA.<\/p>

Horton’s procedure marks his second Tommy John surgery and is anticipated to keep him sidelined until approximately mid-2027. The 2022 first-round selection had posted a 1-0 record with a 2.45 ERA in two starts this season before the setback.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
