Russell Martin out of Dodgers' lineup against Angels

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Russell Martin is not starting on Tuesday evening versus right-hander Cam Bedrosian and the Los Angeles Angels.

What It Means:

Martin is being replaced at catcher by Austin Barnes on Tuesday. He's 7-for-15 with a double and 4 runs scored over his last four starts. The 36-year-old veteran has been crushing it at the plate over the past month-plus following a brief dry spell, improving his batting average from .200 to .284 since May 7.

numberFire's models expect Martin to record 3 homers, 15 RBI, and 16 runs scored over the rest of the season.
