The Toronto Blue Jays will not be taking the field in Chicago as planned on Thursday afternoon. While the team was expected to play their first away game of the season against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, the game has been postponed. The White Sox made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that a forecast of inclement weather will prevent the game from being played at the open-air Rate Field. Instead, the Jays will be back in action to kick off that three-game series on Friday afternoon at 2:10 p.m. pic.twitter.com/mPWb0xlg9P — Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) April 1, 2026 That means Thursday will be a day off for the Blue Jays while the series will kick off on Friday. Games two and three of the series are set to go on Saturday (2:10 p.m.) and Sunday (2:10 p.m.). The Jays will be looking to keep the good vibes going into Chicago, where they had a lot of success dating back to last season. Toronto took two of the three games at Rate Field during the 2025 season, outscoring the White Sox by a 14-5 margin in those victories. Despite Chicago being among the worst MLB teams last season and the Jays winning the AL pennant, the two clubs split the season series with a 3-3 record against one another. Toronto struggled to dispatch the White Sox at the Rogers Centre, losing two of those three games in 2025. This will be the first meeting between the Jays and White Sox in 2026 and will feature an interesting matchup between two of the offseason's most anticipated Japanese free agent signings. Kazuma Okamoto will line up for Toronto while Munetaka Murakami highlights Chicago's lineup.
