Saturday’s weather was bad enough that the Yankees decided not to even attempt to play in The Bronx.
The Yankees announced their matchup with the Dodgers has been postponed to a split-admission doubleheader Sunday.
The Bombers said they expect “sustained inclement weather” in the forecast, which ultimately led to the postponement.
The first game on Sunday will be set for 12:35 p.m. ET — about 2 hours, 30 minutes before the start of the World Cup at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — and will be shown on YES Network.
Game 2 will still be held at 7:20 and will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
Ryan Weathers was supposed to pitch against Emmett Sheehan on Saturday, while Cam Schlittler was set to close out the series against Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
It’s not yet clear if that order will be maintained in the twinbill.
