Blue Jays' Russell Martin: Gets day off Sunday
Martin is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, Barry Davis of Sportsnet reports.
Analysis:
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons indicated that Martin was just getting a routine day off, so the backstop should be back in the lineup for Monday's series opener with the Rays. Martin had gone 1-for-12 with five strikeouts over his last three games.
