On Saturday afternoon, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays were supposed to play the second game of their series (in the Bronx).
The Yankees lost the first game by a score of 4-2 (on Friday).
However, Saturday’s game has now been canceled (and rescheduled for a later date).
The Yankees wrote (via X): “Today’s game has been rescheduled due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather and will be made up as the first game of a split-admission doubleheader on Tuesday, September 22 at 1:05 PM.”
