Drey

Jameson

Jameson allowed two runs — one earned — over three innings (three appearances) during a brief stint with the Diamondbacks over the past week. The 27-year-old righty heads back to the minors ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Mets.

Martinez hasn’t pitched since last Thursday due to shoulder fatigue, but there’s no indication he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. It would likely be some combination of Shelby Miller, Ryan Thompson and Drey Jameson handling a save chance on Wednesday night if Martinez isn’t able to go.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said late Tuesday that Martinez is possibly dealing with a “dead arm” phase, but believes he’s “very close” to 100 percent. The hard-throwing 23-year-old righty hasn’t pitched since last Thursday, but there’s been no indication that the Diamondbacks are considering sending him to the injured list. He’s expected to serve as Arizona’s primary closer with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the injured list. Some combination of Shelby Miller, Ryan Thompson and Drey Jameson are in the mix to close if Martinez is unable to answer the bell.

Jameson was called up Saturday after posting a 2.70 ERA in seven appearances for Triple-A Reno. Primarily a starter as a pro, the Diamondbacks plan to keep him in the pen this year in his first season back from Tommy John. He could wind up being pretty useful in short relief.

Jameson gets the call to bolster Arizona’s bullpen after Friday’s meltdown at Wrigley Field. The 27-year-old righty will work in long relief.

Jameson, serving as a reliever in his return from Tommy John surgery, could surface in the Diamondbacks pen at any time. He’s allowed just one run in five innings so far, and he topped out at 99.6 mph last night.

Jameson is making his comeback from Tommy John surgery and was routinely hitting 100 mph in his spring innings. The Diamondbacks will be cautious with the 27-year-old in his first season back, but there is a good chance he gets innings in the MLB bullpen this summer.

Kelly will be one of a few injured hurlers who throw bullpens for the Diamondbacks Tuesday, as Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder), Drey Jameson and Jordan Montgomery (knee) are all expected to throw between 20-25 pitches before the game. Kelly has been out since late April with his shoulder strain, and he’s expected to need a few bullpen sessions before he can start throwing simulated games. The 35-year-old has a chance to get back into action before the end of August if there’s no setbacks.

It’s the first step in the recovery process for the 26-year-old hurler. He’s not expected to make it back before the end of the 2024 season, but should be fully recovered and ready to roll for the start of spring training in 2025.

Jameson will miss the entire 2024 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. The 26-year-old righty attempted to rehab a UCL sprain over the summer, but ultimately wound up requiring surgery. The procedural move opened up a spot on Arizona’s 40-man roster to sign veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk.
