Sun May 04 17:40:00 UTC 2025: **Yankees-Rays Game Delayed by Rain, Potential for Postponement Looms**
NEW YORK (AP) — Sunday’s series finale between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium has been delayed due to inclement weather. The game, originally scheduled for 1:05 p.m., has been pushed back to 2:05 p.m., but persistent rain throughout the day raises concerns about a potential postponement.
Weather forecasts predict continued rain throughout Sunday, extending into Monday and Tuesday. This complicates rescheduling, as the Rays only return to Yankee Stadium once more this year – for a four-game series at the end of July. Fitting in a makeup game before then would require a crammed five-game schedule over four days.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone acknowledged earlier in the day that he had received conflicting reports on the game’s status. The possibility of playing through poor conditions or enduring a lengthy delay is also problematic. The team is currently assessing the situation, weighing the challenges of a postponement against playing in less-than-ideal conditions.
