A injury report from ESPN's preview...
Toronto catcher Josh Thole, usually is the personal receiver for Dickey, was pressed into service Friday night after regular catcher Russell Martin suffered a twisted left knee after becoming lightheaded in a sauna Thursday, an off day in the schedule. He said he is hoping to return Sunday but meanwhile, the Blue Jays are restricted with what they can do. With Martin out they cannot run or hit for Thole, to say nothing of what they might do in the case of an injury.
An MRI of the knee on Friday revealed no structural damage.
Martin said he went to the sauna without having eaten much. He stayed in a bit too long and felt woozy, so he took a cold shower. After a minute in the shower, he passed out.
"The next thing I know I'm on the ground," Martin said before the game Friday. "I had dropped the shower hose on my face and I'm on the ground ... I woke up and I had the shower curtain half on my body."
He also banged his head. The small bump on his head is no problem but the knee is still sore.
"It's probably going to be sore, but I've played through soreness before," Martin said. "Knowing that there's no structural damage kind of puts my mind at ease. It's just going to be one of those years where I have to grind it out."
If Martin needs more than a couple of days, the Blue Jays have little catching depth in their system and may have to look outside for help behind the plate.
Toronto infielder Darwin Barney was in left field Friday for the second straight game, his first two career games in the outfield. Ezequiel Carrera, who has been resting a sore Achilles tendon, was used as a pinch-hitter Friday and could return Saturday.
