Toronto will be seeded sixth in the American League and open the best-of-three wild-card series Tuesday at Minnesota.
Since the Blue Jays clinched a post-season spot a few hours after their game finished on Saturday, a post-game celebration was planned for Sunday instead.
The fourth-seeded Rays, who clinched a wild-card spot earlier in the week, will host Texas in the wild-card round. The Rangers dropped a 1-0 decision to Seattle in their finale."It's been proven that it doesn't matter what seed you are," said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. "It just depends on how you're playing at the time."The Blue Jays originally pencilled in Kevin Gausman for Sunday's start but can now choose to use him earlier in the wild-card series.
