Russell Martin Needs Stitches After High-Five Injures Him Following Win

The Toronto Blue Jays advanced to an American League Division Series showdown with the Texas Rangers following a 5-2 walk-off victory Tuesday evening over the Baltimore Orioles. Toronto catcher Russell Martin left postgame celebrations with more than just happy memories, though. 

Per Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling, Martin injured the pinky finger on his left hand after giving a celebratory high-five and required stitches.

Toronto fans shouldn't worry, though. It appears Martin will be ready to play in Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday afternoon.         

The Blue Jays may want to switch to soft fist bumps when celebrating for the rest of the postseason.
