The final of the Blue Jays-Red Sox series was postponed due to weather and will be part of the split DH in August

BOSTON (AP) — The series finale between the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night was postponed due to severe weather.

The scoreless game was broken early in the second inning when there was one out, Toronto’s Davis Schneider was on first base after a walk, and Danny Jansen was about to bat.

The game will be rescheduled for August 26, the same time it was suspended, as part of a split doubleheader.

Toronto and Boston split the first two games of the three-game series.

TRAINING ROOM

Blue Jays: OF Daulton Varsho was not in the starting lineup. He suffered a back injury Saturday against Cleveland and has not played since. Manager John Schneider said Wednesday Varsho could return Thursday. … 1B Joey Votto, who experienced stiffness in his lower back while rehabbing an ankle injury, went 0 for 3 as a first baseman in a rehab game for Low-A Dunedin on Wednesday.

He began swinging at about 75% of his full power on Wednesday.
