Russell Martin not starting for Blue Jays Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Josh Thole will get the start on Saturday as catcher Russell Martin is resting.

What It Means:

Despite having another strong game on Friday going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored, Martin snapped his consecutive RBI game streak at seven games. He will get a breather on Saturday.

Martin is slowly getting back to form, slashing .215/.302/.317 on the year with five home runs and 25 RBI's. However, he is slashing .282/.434/.487 with two homers and 11 RBI's in June. We project him to post a wOBA of .314 with nine dingers and 34 RBI's over the remaining course of the season.
