LEADING OFF

A look at what’s happening around the majors Tuesday:

NEW DIGS: The Toronto Blue Jays finally move into their new home at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York, when they play the Miami Marlins. It’ll be the first time this year the Blue Jays are the host team. Canada’s government wouldn’t let them hold games at Rogers Centre in Toronto, fearful of opponents traveling into the city amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The club’s Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo last hosted a regularseason Major League Baseball game in 1915. The Blue Jays spent the first two-plus weeks of the season bouncing from Tampa to Washington to Atlanta to Boston.

SUSPENSION SUSPENSE:

The A’s and Astros are awaiting word from MLB about likely punishments stemming from a bench-clearing fracas Sunday. Oakland outfielder Ramon Laureano said Monday he charged Houston’s dugout after Astros hitting coach Alex Cintrón made a crude remark about his mother, sparking the melee. A’s manager Bob Melvin is calling for harsh punishments for Cintrón. Houston skipper Dusty Baker said Cintrón is “remorseful.”

MAX IS BACK: Nationals ace Max Scherzer (0-1) is set to make his scheduled start against the Mets at Citi Field after leaving his previous outing early because of a hamstring issue. The threetime Cy Young Award winner lasted only one inning last Wednesday against New York due to a hamstring problem that first cropped up July 29 versus Toronto.
