Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is out for Tuesday's postseason clash with the Pacers.

The 25-year-old has averaged only 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 points throughout the postseason.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen is hitting in the two-hole on Monday against the visiting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Erick Fedde.
