Rain postpones Saturday’s Tigers-Orioles game and forces a Sunday split doubleheader (12:35 p.m. and 6:05 p.m.), with likely roster moves including a 15-day IL stint for lefty Brant Hurter, the addition of a 27th man (likely Drew Sommers), and a potential 40-man/60-day IL maneuver to activate Troy Melton for Game 2; Skubal threw a bullpen and Torres continued rehab.
The Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Angels will play a split doubleheader on Saturday due to the rare occurrence of Hurricane Hilary heading towards the West Coast of the United States. The game times have been adjusted to allow the Rays to return home before the storm's arrival. The Rays will start Zach Eflin in the night game and Tyler Glasnow in the matinee. The team has also called up Cooper Criswell as the 27th man for bullpen depth. Wander Franco, who is under investigation for alleged inappropriate relationship with a minor, has reportedly hired noted sports attorney Jay Riesinger. Reliever Andrew Kittredge has returned to the team after completing his rehab from Tommy John surgery.
The New York Mets and Washington Nationals played less than three innings for about 38 minutes on Saturday before it was finally called after a roughly four-hour rain delay. The game was suspended in the third inning and was completed as part of a split-admission doubleheader the next day, leaving fans irate. Mets broadcasters called the decision "shameful" and "unprecedented," while fans echoed their sentiments. The Mets lost the resumption, 3-2.
