2024 Fantasy Outlook
Martin underwent Tommy John Surgery in May likely leaving him on the sidelines in his recovery until the middle of the season in 2024. The right hander was given a shot to break camp in 2023 in the rotation, but ultimately was assigned to Triple-A Charlotte making three starts before the surgery to the tune of a 2.81 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 20 strikeouts in 16 innings pitched. Once recovered Davis will likely return to Triple-A where the White Sox can stash him as rotation depth if needed. Read Past Outlooks

Struggles with control Wednesday
PChicago White Sox
September 25, 2024
Martin allowed two runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Martin walked three batters in the first inning but escaped without allowing run. His lack of control caught up with him in the fourth, however, as he allowed a two-out walk followed by a hit-by-pitch and an infield single to load the bases and force his exit. Martin was then charged with two runs when Michael Soroka came on in relief and allowed a two-run single to Taylor Ward. It was the second time in his final three starts that Martin was unable to complete four frames, and he gave up 10 runs across 11.2 innings during that stretch.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Martin opened the season with Double-A Birmingham before being promoted to Triple-A Charlotte after five starts. He spent the rest of the season shuttling between Triple-A and the majors, often serving as the extra man for a doubleheader, but also serving as a fill-in starter or bulk reliever. Davis was serviceable in his role, but a 10.8% K-BB% speaks towards his minimal potential to be anything more than roster filler. In Triple-A, he did fan 66 in 53 innings, but he also surrendered 11 homers. The White Sox have a solid five-man rotation, but very little depth so Martin could fulfill the swingman role. Unless he shows a significant uptick in strikeouts, Martin is well off the fantasy map.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be needed in rotation
PChicago White Sox
February 9, 2023
Martin could be thrust into the White Sox' rotation this season, depending on the outcome of the investigation into Mike Clevinger, Vinnie Duber of CHGO reports.
ANALYSIS
Between Clevinger being investigated by MLB due to allegations of domestic violence and child abuse and the durability concerns with Michael Kopech, the White Sox' rotation depth figures to be tested. Martin could be the next man up after he posted a 4.83 ERA and 48:19 K:BB over 63.1 innings covering 14 appearances -- nine starts -- during his rookie season in 2022. Recent waiver claim A.J. Alexy might also wind up playing an important role for the Southsiders.
