Hutchison may miss next start with flu

OAKLAND -- Blue Jays right-hander Drew Hutchison is considered questionable to make Thursday afternoon's start against the A's because of flu-like symptoms.

Hutchison caught a bad case of the flu earlier this week and it remains uncertain whether he will be able to take the mound in the series finale. It's possible that Toronto will wait until Thursday morning before making a final decision.

If Hutchison is unable to go, then knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will pitch one day earlier than expected. Dickey is scheduled to start the series opener in Seattle, but he could start Thursday on normal rest because Toronto had an off-day Monday.
