The Dodgers have acquired Chris Martin from the Cubs.

The 36-year-old has appeared in 34 games so far this season with the Cubs, pitching to a 4.31 ERA and striking out 40 batters in 31.1 innings.

For his career, the Arlington, Texas, native owns a 4.10 ERA with 227 strikeouts in 226.1 innings spread out over seven big league seasons.
