Fantasy Analysis
The Rockies had the tying man at the plate when Martinez entered the game on Sunday, which is why he was credited with a save. However, Craig Kimbrel remains the Braves full-time closer, so Martinez likely won't be seeing many more save opportunities in the immediate future. As long as he is used primarily in middle relief, Martinez will remain merely a marginal Fantasy option. (Updated 05/07/2012).
