Blue Jays' Russell Martin: Out of lineup Friday

Martin is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.

Analysis:

Josh Thole will step in behind the plate to catch for starter Marco Estrada as Martin sits following three consecutive starts. Martin has picked it up at the plate since the calendar turned to June, but his season line still sits at .228/.317/.338 and he's on pace for a mere 12 homers after smacking 23 a year ago.
