Cubs vs. Guardians Postponed; Doubleheader Scheduled for Sunday

Fans eager to catch the Cubs in action tonight are out of luck, as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather. This storm front also affected the earlier matchup between the Cardinals and Tigers in Detroit, which was halted after eight innings.

As of now, neither the Cubs nor the Guardians have officially announced their starting pitchers for the upcoming doubleheader on Sunday. However, it is anticipated that Shōta Imanaga and Edward Cabrera will take the mound, although the order remains uncertain. With the Cubs enjoying an off day on Thursday, it’s plausible that Imanaga could pitch on Sunday and still maintain regular rest for his subsequent start against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.

Interestingly, the Cubs have not participated in a “traditional” doubleheader at Wrigley Field since August 3, 2006, when they faced the Diamondbacks. Apart from the 2020 season, there hasn’t been a similar doubleheader on the road either, though fans are welcome to verify this record.

The first game of the doubleheader is set to begin at 1:10 PM Eastern Time (12:10 PM Central Time). A preview for both games will be available at 10 AM CT on Sunday. Until then, fans are encouraged to enjoy their evening!
