Blue Jays activate Russell Martin from the Disabled List

The Blue Jays have activated Russell Martin from the Disabled List and he will be playing in tonight’s game against the Orioles according to Hazel May:

The corresponding move will likely be a DFA for Mike Ohlman, but we’re still waiting on official word:

This will be a tremendous boon for the Blue Jays offense who’ve only received an .081 / .128 / .121 batting line (.249 OPS) from catchers not named Russell Martin. Martin himself was only batting .192 before weakness in his left shoulder sidelined him, but he had a .359 on base percentage to go along with three home runs and a .701 OPS; so he’ll still eliminate the black hole the catcher position was causing in the lineup.
