3 years agoAtlanta Braves reliever Chris Martin wasn't included on the team's 26-man roster for their National League Division Series matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. The reliever pitched to a 3.95 ERA and a 3.47 FIP in 43.1 innings this season. As has been the case for much of Martin's Major League career, he did an excellent job limiting walks, surrendering just six this season. However, he didn't miss bats at the rate he has in years past. The veteran struck out 65 batters in 55.2 innings in 2019 and registered 20 strikeouts in 18 innings last season. However, his strikeout total fell to 33 this season. With Richard Rodriguez also being left off the roster for the series, Atlanta will rely on a bullpen that includes Jesse Chavez, Luke Jackson, Dylan Lee, Tyler Matzek, A.J. Minter, and Jacob Webb, as well as closer Will Smith.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller
