Justin Martinez is nearing a return from Tommy John surgery, set to begin rehab next week with a camp game before heading to Low-A Visalia. Though initially expected to be last among three D-backs pitchers recovering from elbow surgeries, setbacks for A.J. Puk and Corbin Burnes may make Martinez the first back on the mound — even if not yet ready for the majors. Known for his electric stuff and clubhouse energy, Martinez’s return could provide crucial bullpen depth as the team pushes toward playoffs, especially with recent closer changes. Manager Torey Lovullo emphasized a cautious, gradual reintroduction to avoid overuse, but any added arm is welcome as the bullpen grinds through high-leverage innings.
