Rain washes away Toronto-Boston matchup

March 19th, 2019

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- With rain in the forecast all day, the Blue Jays-Red Sox game scheduled for Tuesday at JetBlue Park has been canceled.

Tickets for the game will be automatically refunded to the original account holder of record and will not be required to be returned for reimbursement.

Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who was supposed to start against the Blue Jays, will instead pitch a Minor League game on Wednesday.

Righty Rick Porcello gets the nod when Boston plays next on Wednesday night (6:05 ET) in Sarasota against Baltimore.

The Sox play night games at home on Thursday (Rays) and on the road on Friday (Twins).

The final Grapefruit League contest of Spring Training for the defending World Series champions will take place at JetBlue Park on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET against the Pirates.

After that, it is off to Arizona for exhibition games against the Cubs on Monday and Tuesday. Boston opens its season in Seattle against the Mariners on March 28.

Between now and then, the Red Sox still have a few questions to be answered.

Who will earn the final roster spots in the bullpen?

Will manager Alex Cora pick a designated closer or go with a committee?

Which of the three catchers will be moved to another team?
