The Toronto Blue Jays’ game against the Baltimore Orioles scheduled for Tuesday was postponed because of persistent rain in Baltimore. The matchup will be played as a split-admission doubleheader on Wednesday, Sept. 23, with games at 1:35 p.m. and 6:35 p.m. ET; separate tickets are required, though Tuesday tickets can be used for the afternoon game or exchanged for the evening contest before the stated deadline. Gates will open at 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., and fans will not have early access to Eutaw Street for batting practice. Max Scherzer is expected to start one game for Toronto, likely against Chris Bassitt, while the second-game pitching plans remain uncertain after Dylan Cease was ruled out with shoulder fatigue. Baltimore won the series opener 4-3, leaving both teams’ playoff hopes increasingly precarious.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Doubleheaders wear out the pitching staff fast, and having Scherzer start one might help Baltimore's chances.
