Overview
- The Yankees canceled the May 23 game versus the Tampa Bay Rays because of a forecast for sustained heavy rain and announced the game will be made up as the first game of a split-admission doubleheader on Tuesday, September 22 at 1:05 p.m.
- The team posted the postponement and makeup details on X with a link to further information and the announcement drew immediate reaction from fans on social media.
- A split-admission doubleheader usually means separate tickets and separate entry for each game, so fans should check which tickets are valid or request guidance from the club.
- Local reports say the postponement may shift planned pitching assignments, noting Drew Rasmussen was expected to start for Tampa Bay and Ryan Weathers had been lined up for the Yankees before the change.
- The move follows an earlier May rainout that required a later makeup date and highlights how weather-driven postponements can ripple through rotations, late-season schedules and fan plans.
