Overview

• Toronto remains tied with the Yankees atop the AL East with two regular-season games left.
• Schneider confirmed Gausman will pitch in some capacity on Sunday, with a full start if needed and a shorter outing possible.
• Gausman is slated for Game 162, which could still determine the division depending on Saturday’s results.
• A sweep of the Rays would clinch the AL East and a first-round bye, increasing incentive to manage Gausman’s innings.
• Bo Bichette continues swinging and throwing, and coaches are monitoring Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s approach at the plate.
