Reiver Sanmartin News & Updates

Sanmartin was called up on Tuesday and threw 25 pitches out of the bullpen, so the Reds will now send him back down to get a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Sanmartin is back in the majors for the first time since undergoing elbow surgery in June 2023. The 29-year-old had a 2.79 ERA and a 44/17 K/BB in 58 innings for Louisville. The strikeout rate isn’t encouraging, but Sanmartin is a strong groundball pitcher and he’s actually throwing a little harder now than in his previous major league stints, with his fastball averaging 92.0 mph in Triple-A. He averaged 90.7 mph for the Reds in 2022 and 89.9 mph in 2023.
