Is the Yankees game postponed today? Latest update, weather forecast, and more
The New York Yankees and Texas Rangers were set to square off in the first of a three-game series on Friday. The Bronx Bombers were looking to bounce back after losing the last two to the Los Angeles Angels.
Game 1 of the three-game series has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday, as the second game of a single-admission doubleheader.
Carlos Rodon is expected to get the start in Game 1 of the doubleheader and will look to set the tone. Texas will likely hand the ball to LHP Cody Bradford to kick off the series.
Yankees vs Rangers Weather forecast
Rain has been a problem in the Bronx this week. It forced the club to have a doubleheader against the Angels earlier in the week, so they should be ready for another twin bill.
Rain is expected to last for much of the day in the Bronx with a chance of some thunderstorms. However, Saturday should provide good weather for a doubleheader. It will be mostly sunny with a high of 86F.
Sunday should be another great day for a baseball game. It is expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 83F in the Bronx to round out what could be an exciting series.
What happens to Yankee tickets if the game is canceled?
Fans who purchased tickets for Friday's matchup against the Texas Rangers will have to exchange their tickets. Tickets will not be valid for either of the games on Saturday.
Fans can exchange their ticket for one of similar value for another game within 12 months of the originally scheduled game. Tickets can be exchanged online seven days after the rescheduled game, per the Yankees rain check policy.
