Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Joe Martinez is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox "for now." | ||||||
Martinez is also available out of the bullpen this week, so if he's needed, it's possible Madison Bumgarner would get the call from Triple-A Fresno. Martinez made his season debut last Tuesday and allowed four runs over 6 1/3 innings in a loss to the Orioles. | ||||||

Joe Martinez lost to the Orioles after allowing four runs in 6 1/3 innings on Tuesday. | ||||||
The 27-year-old Martinez was picked over top prospect Madison Bumgarner to start tonight, but odds are that Bumgarner will get the call before the end of the month, relegating Martinez to middle relief or resulting in his return to Triple-A. | ||||||

Giants recalled RHP Joe Martinez from Triple-A Fresno. | ||||||
He'll function as an extra relief arm for now, though he will certainly be considered to fill Todd Wellemeyer's place in the rotation next Tuesday. Madison Bumgarner is also a possibility. Martinez, 27, was 5-2 with a 3.07 ERA over 11 starts with Triple-A Fresno. | ||||||
