ARLINGTON, Texas -- Nick Martinez is not thinking about his long-term spot in the Texas Rangers' rotation.
The right-hander is too busy focusing on his Tuesday start against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Martinez (1-3, 4.69 ERA) will make his eighth start for Texas since getting called up from Triple-A Round Rock when A.J. Griffin got hurt in April. Martinez has managed to stay in the rotation because of injuries, and it is unlikely he is going anywhere soon with Griffin on the disabled list along with Cole Hamels and Tyson Ross.
