Blue Jays' Rasmus scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to illness

The Toronto Blue Jays will not have center fielder Colby Rasmus in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with the Boston Red Sox at Rogers Centre, as the 28-year-old is dealing with an unspecified illness, according to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi.

Rasmus, an impending free agent, has endured a disappointing season thus far, hitting .223/.285/.437 (99 OPS+) with 16 home runs through 93 games. Kevin Pillar, who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday afternoon, will start in his stead.
