It's been an especially frustrating season for Texas Rangers reliever Chris Martin. The veteran hurler has had a decent season on the mound when he's healthy enough to pitch. The problem is that he hasn't been healthy nearly enough.

Martin was removed in the eighth inning from Saturday's game against the Mets due to a right-hand injury. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over 1.
