Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Justin Martinez (shoulder) is dealing with right-shoulder fatigue that could just be a dead-arm phase early in the season, and manager Torey Lovullo said it's possible that he'll be available out of the bullpen on Wednesday if the team needs him against the Tampa Bay Rays. Lovullo also said that Martinez is "very, very close" to being 100 percent, which is good news considering that left-hander A.J. Puk (elbow) landed on the injured list over the weekend. Martinez should see most of Arizona's save chances going forward if he can get past his shoulder issue with Puk sidelined. When Martinez was unavailable for a save opportunity on Sunday against the Cubs, Drey Jameson got the call and closed the door. In addition to Jameson, Shelby Miller, Jalen Beeks and Ryan Thompson could be options in the ninth if Martinez can't get past his shoulder issue.

Boston Red Sox rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell is getting a breather on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park. Romy Gonzalez will draw the start at the keystone and will hit seventh against Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock. It's a routine day of rest for Campbell, who has looked like a seasoned veteran as Boston's starting second baseman in his first 23 games, as he's gone 24-for-80 (.300) with three home runs, five doubles, eight RBI, one stolen base, 12 runs scored, 15 walks and 23 strikeouts in 96 plate appearances. The 22-year-old should be back in action for Thursday's series finale against Seattle. Gonzalez has only played in eight games so far in 2025 and is still looking for his first home run, but he's currently hitting .346 (9-for-26) with four doubles, three RBI and six runs scored in his limited playing time. He has never faced Hancock in his career.

Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland's (finger) next start is to be determined after he was forced to leave his last outing on Sunday, April 20, against the Washington Nationals due to a blister on his finger. Freeland picked up his fourth loss of the year that day after giving up three runs (one earned) on three hits while walking two and striking out two in just two innings of work in the first game of a doubleheader. The 31-year-old veteran southpaw was expected to make his next start at some point this weekend at Coors Field against the visiting Cincinnati Reds, but he's in danger of being pushed back or even landing on the injured list. Even if Freeland is able to take his next turn in Colorado's starting rotation, fantasy managers will want to stay away from him in Denver against Cincy. He's currently 0-4 with a 4.85 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB in 26 innings over his four starts.

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (hip), who did not make the trip with the team this week to Kansas City to face the Royals, will likely be out beyond his 10-day window on the injured list and will have to play through some discomfort the rest of the season. Tovar landed on the IL on April 19 (retroactive to April 16) with a left-hip contusion, and his return is to be determined. The 23-year-old was initially scratched from the lineup last Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and may not return until early May now. In his absence, Kyle Farmer has become a lineup regular for the banged-up Rockies. He hasn't cleared the fences yet but has hit well to the tune of a .284 average (19-for-67) with six RBI and two runs scored. It's fair to wonder if Tovar will be able to bounce back from a slow start that has seen him go 14-for-66 (.212) with no homers, four RBI and two steals in 16 games.

Colorado Rockies designated hitter Kris Bryant (back) did not join the team for their series from April 22-24 against the Kansas City Royals due to persistent back pain stemming from lumbar degenerative disc disease and instead stayed in Denver for treatment and rehab. Bryant originally landed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 13) on April 14, and it's anyone's guess as to when he might be able to join the major-league roster. The 33-year-old was still unable to stay off the IL early in the 2025 season despite the fact that the Rockies had only been using him at DH in the first month. The four-time All-Star and former MVP also went just 6-for-39 with no home runs, two doubles, one RBI, two walks and 13 strikeouts before his back flared up. At this point, it's fair to wonder if Bryant will even return at all in 2025, and if he does, he might not be very productive for those in NL-only leagues.
