Martin was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Martin entered camp looking to snag a bullpen role with the White Sox out of camp. It appears those hopes are now out the window, and he'll likely begin the season in the minors.

The White Sox have signed Martin to a minor league contract, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Martin made 24 average starts for the Nationals between 2009 and 2010, but he has not appeared in the major leagues since '10. He spent all of 2013 in South Korea, where he posted a 4.78 ERA in 128 innings. He may receive an invite to spring training, but he is a longshot to crack the major league rotation.

Rays designated RHP J.D. Martin for assignment.
The move was done to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, presumably for Jesse Crain who is expected to be activated on Monday. There's a strong chance that the 30-year-old will clear waivers and continue to serve as organizational depth in the minor leagues.
