Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin starts in left field against Boston Red Sox

BOSTON — Russell Martin ventured into new territory Monday for the Blue Jays.

The 35-year-old catcher from Chelsea, Que., was pencilled in to start in left field against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Martin has already played at third base and shortstop this season, in addition to his normal duties behind the plate.

He made his first career start at shortstop against the Phillies last Saturday.
