Martinez won't face Atlanta in the final game of Wednesday's doubleheader after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The "decision stems from a roster crunch, not a move to become outright sellers," so the Reds will only look to move relievers who will be free agents at the end of the year. That includes players like Lucas Sims, Buck Farmer, Justin Wilson, and Nick Martinez. Veteran right-handers Emilio Pagan and Ian Gibaut are out of options and getting closer to a return, leaving the Reds short on roster spots for relievers they'd like to keep, which is why they might be looking to rearrange deck chairs in their bullpen.

With rain in the forecast throughout the evening in Atlanta, there simply wasn't a clear window to get this one in. It'll be made up as a split doubleheader on Wednesday instead. Tuesday's original starting pitchers -- Nick Martinez and Chris Sale -- will presumably be pushed back to take the ball at some point during Wednesday's twin bill at Truist Park.
