Toronto will have Eric Lauer on the bump with an extra day’s rest after his scheduled start on Saturday was pushed back a day due to illness.
Lauer, 30, was fantastic in his first start against the Athletics. He went 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and struck out nine.
The White Sox have won the last two games largely due to the Blue Jays’ defensive blunders. Tyler Heineman, who filled in — and will keep doing so — for the injured Alejandro Kirk, had two throwing errors late in the first two games that have changed the Blue Jays’ trajectory.
Toronto lost 5-4 in extras on Friday and 6-3 on Saturday. The Jays have now lost three in a row and sit 4-4 on the young season, still looking for their first road win.
