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.
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.
