BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Chris Martin on the 15-day injury list Wednesday because of anxiety.
The 38-year-old Martin told the team about his anxiety over the weekend.
The move was retroactive to Sunday. Martin last pitched on May 30 against Detroit, giving up four hits, including two home runs, and three earned runs in an inning of work. He has a 4.22 ERA in 21 appearances this season.
“With being respectful of the situation, he felt like it was manifesting in some physical ways that were keeping him from competing at the level that he’s used to in terms of fatigue and energy and recovery and sleep and some of those types of things,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said.
