Overview
- The Atlanta Braves announced Thursday that the scheduled June 18 game at Truist Park was postponed and rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 31 at 6:05 p.m. ET, with original June 18 tickets valid for the makeup.
- Officials cited hazardous weather tied to the remnant of Tropical Storm Arthur, including flood watches, wind advisories and forecasts of multiple inches of rain from the National Hurricane Center, as the reason the game could not be played.
- MLB and the clubs kept the makeup in Atlanta to preserve each team’s 81 home dates rather than shift a home game to San Francisco, a choice that creates late‑season congestion for the visiting Giants.
- San Francisco adjusted its rotation immediately, pushing starts such as Landen Roupp back by a day, and will face a stretch that includes 23 games in 23 days from mid‑August into September.
- Fans will have tickets honored for the new date and should follow team ticket policies, and bettors are advised to check sportsbook rules because most operators void wagers if a postponed game is not played within 48 hours though grading can vary by bet type.
