Overview

• Wednesday’s downpours forced postponements of the Pirates-Tigers, White Sox-Cardinals and Cubs-Brewers matchups at Comerica Park, Rate Field and Wrigley Field.
• The Tigers and Pirates will play a split doubleheader Thursday at 1:10 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. ET; the White Sox and Cardinals will stage straight twin bills Thursday at 1:10 p.m. CT and about 30 minutes later; and the Cubs and Brewers will make up their game as a split doubleheader on August 18.
• Teams have issued varied ticket solutions, allowing rainout ticket holders to attend both games of makeups, exchange seats of equal value or seek refunds or credits through official and secondary outlets.
• Pitching staffs across Detroit, St. Louis and Chicago have been reconfigured, with scheduled starters like Tarik Skubal and Sonny Gray retained, Paul Skenes shifted, and Michael McGreevy called up as the 27th man.
• The Cubs will face 14 games in a 13-day span with the August makeup bill, and the Brewers are set for 19 games over 18 days, intensifying late-season scheduling challenges.
