Russell Martin starting at third for Toronto on Thursday
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin is starting at third base for Thursday's road game with the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
A catcher by trade, Martin will make the move to third on Thursday while Josh Donaldson moves to DH. Martin will bat second against left-hander Martin Perez.
Martin has started just 15 games at third over the course of his career, but 5 of those have come in 2017. The 34-year-old has a .348 wOBA and 7 home runs on the year and, according to our models, is projected for 11.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,500 for today's matchup.
