Mike Ohlman gets the call for Blue Jays

The Blue Jays called up catcher Mike Ohlman from triple-A Buffalo after starting catcher Russell Martin was placed on the 10-day disabled list with left shoulder inflammation. (TSN)
Fantasy Impact:
The Blue Jays released veteran backstop Jarrod Saltalamacchia last week, so they will go with a combination of Ohlman and Luke Maile behind the plate for now. Ohlman has seven home runs in his first 69 at-bats in triple-A this year, but he also has 28 strikeouts. There isn't much to get excited about in the minor league track records of Ohlman or Maile, so Martin owners should be looking elsewhere for a replacement outside of the deepest of two-catcher leagues.
