Texas Rangers relievers have been exposed in August, with a 5.16 ERA and three blown saves in seven games. Chris Martin’s left calf strain, suffered July 21, clouds the late-inning picture as he advances from fielding practice to a light bullpen, live batting practice, and a rehab stint. The front office tried to shore things up at the deadline with Phil Maton and Danny Coulombe, but the bullpen remains a concern for fantasy managers tracking holds and saves.

Martin’s return could re-establish a trusted late-inning option, while Maton and Coulombe provide depth behind him. Monitor Martin’s rehab timeline closely; if he progresses quickly, expect a reshuffling of high-leverage roles and more stable save chances. Until then, Maton and Coulombe are the most plausible routes for holds, with Martin as a potential upgrade once he’s ramped back up.
