GAME POSTPONED IN TORONTO DUE TO FALLING ICE
The Toronto Blue Jays have postponed their series opener against Kansas City because of chunks of ice crashing down from the nearby CN Tower following a weekend of freezing rain.
The teams will play a doubleheader on Tuesday.
It’s the first cancellation at Rogers Centre since a game against the Royals was called off following a collision between two panels of the stadium’s moving roof on April 12, 2001.
Police blocked access to entrance gates on the east side of the stadium, next to the tower, because “relatively large” blocks of ice were falling onto streets and sidewalks below. Authorities say no injuries have been reported, but several windows in nearby office buildings were smashed and at least one car was struck. Pirates’ Harrison on DL >> The Pittsburgh Pirates placed second baseman Josh Harrison on the 10-day disabled list after he broke the pinky finger on his left hand for a second time in a year. The team said that Harrison fractured the fifth metacarpal in the finger when he was hit with a pitch by Miami’s Jose Urena on Sunday. He is expected to miss six weeks. Kiermaier sidelined 2 to 3 months >> Tampa Bay center fielder Kevin Kiermaier has a torn ligament in his right thumb that requires surgery and could be sidelined two to three months. The Rays placed the defensive whiz on the 10-day disabled list Monday, a day after he was injured sliding headfirst into second base.
