Blue Jays' Russell Martin: Needs time to rest injured knee
Martin is out of the lineup Friday due to a knee injury and will likely need a couple days off, broadcaster Hazel Mae reports.
Analysis:
It's been a season to forget for Martin thus far, and this injury will likely only add to his frustration. Manager John Gibbons said Martin stayed in the sauna too long Thursday, got lightheaded and then fell in the shower and hurt his knee. Josh Thole will take over behind the plate while Martin is on the mend.
