The Texas Rangers received good news regarding their bullpen as relievers Chris Martin and Luke Jackson are not expected to be placed on the injured list. Martin, who experienced elbow tightness after throwing just one pitch, has no structural damage according to an MRI. Jackson, who was hit by a line drive, is also on the mend and could return soon. Manager Bruce Bochy expressed optimism, indicating they may need these key arms for crucial upcoming games against division rivals Houston and the New York Yankees.

This situation highlights the importance of managing veteran pitchers' workloads, especially Martin, who recently pitched on three consecutive days for the first time in his career. With significant series on the horizon, the Rangers need their high-leverage arms healthy to maintain their playoff push.
