Blue Jays' Russell Martin: Receives rest day Friday

Martin is not starting in Friday's game against the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Jarrod Saltalamacchia gets the start behind the plate in what appears to be a regular rest day for Martin. The 34-year-old has started the season on a down note, going 0-for-9 with three strikeouts through three games. Nonetheless, he'll likely be back in the lineup Saturday as he looks to find his swing.
