The highly anticipated matchup between the Dodgers and the Yankees in the Bronx was postponed Saturday due to inclement weather. With rain looming throughout the day, Major League Baseball officials made the call more than three hours prior to the scheduled first pitch, pushing the game to Sunday where it will now kick off a split doubleheader.

This marks the Dodgers’ first postponement of the season, a situation they will look to navigate as they adapt their pitching strategy for the twin bill. The first game is slated to begin at 9:35 a.m. PDT, followed by the second contest at 4:20 p.m. PDT.

Originally, Saturday’s game was set to air on Fox at 5:08 p.m. PDT, featuring Dodgers right-hander Emmett Sheehan (4-6, 4.81 ERA) slated to face Yankees lefty Ryan Weathers. However, with the weather conditions deteriorating, fans and players alike will have to wait a little longer for this cross-league clash.

As the Dodgers prepare for Sunday’s doubleheader, they have yet to announce how the postponement will impact their starting pitching plans moving forward.
