Overview
- The Cubs called off the Father’s Day matinee before gates opened on Sunday, June 21, because forecasted steady rain made play impossible.
- The makeup game is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 6 at 1:20 p.m. CT (2:20 p.m. ET), a mutual off day for both clubs.
- The Cubs said tickets for the postponed game will be automatically updated in the MLB Ballpark app so no manual exchange is required.
- Manager Craig Counsell shifted planned pitching after the postponement by moving Shota Imanaga to open the Mets series and left other rotation plans undecided.
- The single-game insertion forces short-term travel and rotation tweaks for Toronto and Chicago, which could affect pitching availability and logistics during both teams’ surrounding series.
