Signed a one-year contract with the Cubs in March of 2026.
Serving as opener Tuesday
PChicago Cubs
April 13, 2026
Martin will serve as the Cubs' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Analysis
Martin will presumably work the first inning or two before handing the ball over to Colin Rea, who was previously listed as the Cubs' starter for Tuesday but will instead operate as a bulk reliever. The start will be the first of Martin's career after he made his previous three appearances with the Cubs out of the bullpen.
