Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It looks like a routine day off for the veteran catcher. Luke Maile will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth against lefty Drew Pomeranz. Maile is not a reliable option for fantasy leagues or DFS contests.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Martin has struggled throughout most of this season, but collected two hits including a home run during Wednesday's contest.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin has fallen off a bit over the past few seasons. While Martin has seven straight seasons of double digit home runs, he is no longer the All-Star he was in 2015. While he has not necessarily returned to form in 2018, the Blue Jays' catcher has looked better recently and could be in for a strong finish to the year. On the year, Martin has hit just .190 with nine home runs and [...]

With likely major trades happening in your league, one position that could be forgotten is catcher. There's only so many superstars and many teams have to dig through the waiver wire to find their starter. That being said, the trade deadline has opened up multiple opportunities for players.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Monday will be Martin's second game off in the last three contests. Martin is having a horrible season with the bat, but backup Luke Maile is not hitting much better right now. Maile will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth against lefty Adalberto Mejia. Martin is only worth adding in AL-only leagues, while Maile should be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS co[...]

Going into the break one of the hottest topics in baseball was the struggles of Bryce Harper. From a real baseball perspective Harper has still above average at the plate with a 119 wRC+ and .351 wOBA, but he hasn't been the first-round caliber player that we expected going into the season. This is the second down year in three years for Harper, who was slightly worse in 2016 with a 112 wRC+ and .343 wOBA. [...]

Once the break passes though, it will be getting into[...]

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Luke Maile will bat eighth and start behind the plate against righty Mike Foltynewicz. Martin continues to struggle at the plate, so he's really only worth owning in AL-only leagues right now. Maile is the backup catcher, so he's not an option in fantasy leagues or DFS for this contest.
