Tampa Bay will ship reliever Trevor Kelley to the mound as an opener in Sport 1 and Tyler Glasnow will start Sport 2. Taj Bradley stays to be anticipated to pitch Sunday and Monday’s starter hasn’t been launched.
The postponement comes at a uniquely inopportune time inside the schedule.
With the intention to create space for a further off-day on the calendar, the Purple Sox and Rays have been already set to play a scheduled doubleheader on Saturday. The golf tools will play at 1:10 and 6:10 p.m., and initially they could have wrapped up their sequence on Sunday at 1:35 sooner than getting an off day on Monday.
