Year Ends for Sergio Martínez in Hartford
<Hartford:team#50> reliever <Sergio Martínez:player#4106> could miss the remainder of the season because of bone chips in his elbow. He exited yesterday's <Mobile:team#56> game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Martínez would be out 6 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."

<Martínez:player#4106> has no saves in 18 relief appearances this season with a 2-2 record and 6.85 ERA.
