NOTES: RF Alex Rios was given the day off, so manager John Gibbons simply moved the Nos. 2-6 hitters up one spot in the lineup. … Relievers Jason Frasor, Brian Tallet and Casey Janssen weren’t available out of the bullpen on Sunday. … RHP Victor Zambrano was available in relief, and if he was needed for a few innings, Toronto may have to reevaluate who starts on Wednesday. As of right now, it’s still slated to be Zambrano.
