As May begins, three key developments in baseball are under scrutiny: first, Diamondbacks pitcher Justin Martinez may face an injured list stint after a poor outing and significant drop in velocity, prompting potential testing on his right arm. Second, Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been sidelined with an oblique issue, with an MRI scheduled to assess the injury’s severity, despite his claims of being fine. Lastly, today marks an opt-out opportunity for veterans on minor league deals, including Eloy Jiménez (Rays) and Andrew Chafin (Tigers), who may seek to join major league rosters.
