In brief

Monday's scheduled Yankees-Rays game was called off due to a rain forecast, with MLB scheduling a doubleheader makeup for September 22.

Facts about this story

  1. 1

    The Yankees-Rays game was postponed due to a rain forecast before the game began.

  2. 2

    A doubleheader to make up the game has been scheduled for September 22.

  3. 3

    The postponement was reported consistently across four sources with no disputed details.

Background

Rain postponements are a routine part of MLB scheduling, particularly in late spring when weather along the Eastern Seaboard can be unpredictable. Leagues typically require postponed games to be made up, often as doubleheaders scheduled later in the season. The Yankees and Rays are division rivals in the American League East, so each game between them carries direct standings implications. A September 22 doubleheader places the makeup contest in the final stretch of the regular season, when playoff positioning is most sensitive.
