Overview
- The New York Yankees posted on X at 6:17 p.m. ET on Wednesday that they did not intend to start the May 20 game on time and that updates would follow.
- First pitch had been set for 7:05 p.m. ET and the matchup was to feature Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler against Blue Jays prospect Trey Yesavage.
- If Wednesday’s game cannot be completed, the teams could make it up as part of a scheduled doubleheader on Thursday, MLB standard practice for weekday postponements.
- Local forecasts showed thunderstorms and a severe thunderstorm watch through about 9:00 p.m. ET, creating a narrow window for play later Wednesday if conditions improved.
- Fans reacted with visible frustration on social media after the late pregame notice and the Yankees will announce a restart time or postponement decision as information is received.
