Toronto going with top 3 starters vs. Red Sox
- Updated: September 6, 2016
NEW YORK — The Blue Jays have set their rotation for a pivotal upcoming series vs. the Red Sox, and the club will go with its big three of Marco Estrada, J.A. Happ and Aaron Sanchez. Toronto entered Tuesday leading Boston by a game in the American League East.
The decision means that veteran knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will have his next outing pushed back by at least a couple days. He would have been in line to start Sunday’s series finale against Boston, but that outing will instead go to Sanchez.
Toronto has an off-day on Thursday, which means that Sanchez will make the outing on normal rest. The club likely still needs to skip at least one of his starts down the stretch because of an innings limit, but that could happen during an upcoming West Coast road trip through Seattle and Anaheim from Sept. 15-21.
Dickey allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his five August starts, but he surrendered five over four innings vs. the Yankees on Monday. The 41-year-old is 1-2 with a 4.57 ERA in four starts against Boston this season.
