Cardinals' Carlos Martinez: Named Opening Day starter

Martinez will be the Cardinals' Opening Day starter, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.

Analysis:

Martinez will face Jon Lester and the Cubs in the Sunday night opener, with Adam Wainwright and (presumably) Jake Arrieta then squaring off Tuesday in the second game of the series. Martinez is back in Cardinals camp and scheduled to start Wednesday's Grapefruit League matchup for the Nationals, after striking out eight batters while allowing one earned run over eight innings at the World Baseball Classic.
