Martinez has worked out of the St. Louis bullpen all year -- he is 0-3 with a 4.67 ERA in 30 appearances -- but he has wanted to start. He'll get his chance on Monday, although he will be limited to 50-60 pitches, according to MLB.com.
Martinez has longed to be starter in the Majors, but 50 of his 51 appearances during his first two seasons with the Cardinals have been out of the bullpen. He'll get a chance to make a start in place on of Adam Wainwright, who has battled tendinitis. He's winless on the season, but hopes to get his first victory with a Mets team that has been up and down.
"I think it's part of keeping to our word," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We've had other opportunities that didn't seem quite right, where the role he was filling in the bullpen didn't really allow this opportunity to bounce him into a start.
"We told him to keep working and he was going to get a chance. He still has a big role for us in the bullpen, but this is an opportunity that is also a necessity. We need somebody to step up and be able to take this start for Adam. We believe Carlos can do a good job of that."
