What happened: Nick Martinez is shirtless in the clubhouse with a stim machine on his arm and pumped up to pitch again today, manager Kevin Cash said, per Bob Nightengale. Cash added that he expects to hear from all of his relievers throughout the day as they volunteer for work.

Why it matters: After being tabbed to start World Series Game 1, Martinez has shifted into a flexible relief role following a walk-off win last night. Having a stretched-out arm available on back-to-back days gives the pitching staff crucial bridge coverage in the postseason.

What to watch: The coaching staff will evaluate pregame bullpen check-ins throughout the afternoon before locking in today's pitching sequence.
