| News: Martin (neck) will not play Sunday due to a stiff neck, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. | Impact: At this point, it's just a stiff neck, so don't expect Martin to miss much time. Chris Stewart should get the start in his place.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Manager Joe Girardi is encouraged by Martin's .321 OBP despite his .173 batting average, the Yankees' official site reports. | Impact: "Russell's run into some bad luck," Girardi said. "The one thing Russell has done is he's gotten on base. When you look at his average and then you look at how much he's been on, it's really pretty incredible," Girardi said. Martin's batting average on balls in play is just .190, so a rebound could be in order if he gets some better luck.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Martin broke out of his slump to an extent, smacking a home run off Homer Bailey in the third inning of Saturday's loss to the Reds. | Impact: A hit of any kind would qualify as a breakout for Martin, who is batting just .170 on the year.
