Red Sox's Chris Martin: Makes final spring appearance

Martin (groin) struck out one over a scoreless inning in Tuesday's exhibition game against Texas.

Martin wrestled with a groin injury and made just his third appearance of spring training, with all coming within the last week. The Red Sox are comfortable with him being ready for Opening Day despite having worked just 2.1 innings, per Drew Davison of MLB.com. He's expected to be the bridge to closer Kenley Jansen.
