Blue Jays’ Russell Martin misses game after a fall in shower

An off-day trip to the health club knocked out Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin.

Feeling “woozy” following an extended spell in the sauna Thursday, Martin injured his left knee when he passed out and fell while taking a cold shower. He is expected to miss at least two games.

“I woke up and I had the shower curtain half on my body and the rest of my head was kind of sticking outside the shower,” Martin said. “It’s a weird feeling.”

An MRI exam on Martin’s knee Friday showed no structural damage, and the four-time All-Star said he may have aggravated an old injury.

“I just sat in the locker room for 10 minutes, completely drained,” Martin said. “It was scary, but i guess it could have been worse.”
