Rest-of-Season Projections
Signs with Houston
Martinez signed a minor-league contract with Houston and was assigned to Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Martinez spent spring training with Detroit and became available when released over the past weekend. The right-hander returns to the organization that originally signed him as an international free agent out of Venezuela back in 2005. In two minor-league stops last season, for the Twins and Tigers, the 29-year-old Martinez had a combined 5.96 ERA in 92.2 innings. He should serve as nothing more than starting depth with the Astros this season.

2014 Fantasy Outlook
Martinez, signed by the Astros as an amateur free agent in 2005, made his major league debut last season after making a positive impression at Double-A Corpus Christi. He picked up 14 wins there behind a 2.02 ERA and 86:20 K:BB ratio over 129.1 innings (18 starts). The Venezuelan native went on to make four appearances as a long reliever for the Astros, allowing runs to cross the plate in each. He's not a big strikeout guy (6.4 K/9 average in the minors), but he doesn't permit many walks (2.1 BB/9) and that is a plus for a team that ranked dead last in the majors in walks allowed (616) last season. The 26-year-old Martinez is not one of the Astros' most heralded prospects, but he could be given a chance to contribute again in Houston if he pitches like he did in Double-A.
