The Tampa Bay Rays are looking to close out their American League Division Series against the New York Yankees Wednesday, but they will have to do so without Nick Martinez the rest of the way.

Martinez had a brief start at Yankee Stadium, exiting after just 3 2/3 innings. He was hit in the back by an Anthony Volpe line drive in the fourth inning.
