Carlos Martinez has been moved to the seven-day disabled list. Martinez, the Cardinals second-ranked pitching prospect in the system, goes on the DL with a hip strain that is not related to his right arm.

Martinez was already slated to miss at least a start as the Cardinals pulled him from the rotation to save him a few innings and work on his delivery. Martinez was going to meet with several of the Cardinals’ pitching coaches and instructors to develop more deception in his delivery. His recent struggles in the Florida State League have not been the result of fatigue or workload, the Cardinals said, but because he’s telegraphing his fastball. Though he can throw it in the upper-90s, opponents are better able to hit it when they have a clear view of it, even at that level.

Lucky. I need to plot out his starts and see if I can make the trek to Springfield for a third time this year.

Finally get to go see Shelby pitch tonight in person. The only other time was on his sweet 2/3 of an inning start a few weeks ago.
