Martin returns to Blue Jays' lineup for Game 4
The Toronto Blue Jays will make a minor switch in their lineup Monday as they look to fend off elimination in the American League Division Series.
Toronto will slot in Russell Martin at catcher to replace Dioner Navarro, who caught Marco Estrada in Game 3. Martin will hit seventh.

Adrian Beltre will return to the Texas Rangers' starting lineup as they look to close out the ALDS against the Blue Jays.
The 36-year-old slugger hasn't appeared in the series since exiting Game 1 with back spasms.
Texas will also stick with Josh Hamilton, who recorded his first postseason hit since 2011 in the outfield, despite Mike Napoli's fantastic numbers against Toronto starter R.A. Dickey. Napoli owns a .292/.414/.500 career line against Dickey with a home run and six RBIs in 24 at-bats.
