Mathis in a PT crunch: Blue Jays catcher Jeff Mathis made his fifth start and sixth appearance of the season Sunday against the Mariners. Working Mathis into the lineup behind starter J.P. Arencibia has been difficult for manager John Farrell. "Matchups and schedule will probably be the determining factor as far as making sure Jeff is in the flow of things," Farrell said. "By no means should that be interpreted as a sleight of him. He's a talented catcher and has all the confidence in the world when he's running a game." (Updated 04/29/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Mathis did hit a two-run homer on Sunday, his second of the season. He's been productively offensively in his limited PT, which is rare for him since his strength has always been defense. Mathis is clearly the backup catcher in Toronto and has marginal Fantasy appeal. (Updated 04/29/2012).
