Russell Martin not starting on Sunday for Blue Jays
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin is not starting on Sunday versus the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
Martin has started all but two games behind the plate for Toronto since the break, so he'll get a well-deserved breather on Sunday afternoon. Miguel Montero will catch Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ while batting sixth versus Indians righty Corey Kluber.
The 34-year-old backstop is slashing .217/.356/.367 with 9 home runs, 20 RBI, and 39 runs scored in 275 plate appearances (66 games) this season. numberFire's models project him to record a .228 batting average with 6 homers, 21 RBI, and 19 runs scored in 184 more plate appearances this season.
