Overview
- The Yankees announced late Saturday that the scheduled 8:08 p.m. game at Yankee Stadium was postponed and will be made up as the first game of a split‑admission doubleheader on Sunday, July 19 with a 12:35 p.m. first pitch.
- Saturday tickets are valid only for the Sunday afternoon game or can be exchanged online under the Yankees’ rain‑check policy and gates will open at 11:00 a.m. for Game 1 and about 6:00 p.m. for Game 2.
- Broadcast assignments shifted: YES Network will carry the day game and NBC/Peacock will air the Sunday night game, with SportsNet LA picking up the day telecast in network adjustments.
- Planned starters (Ryan Weathers for the Yankees and Emmet Sheehan for the Dodgers) may still be used but managers have not finalized assignments and both clubs can add a player for the doubleheader day, which compresses pitching schedules and strains bullpens.
- The pregame, preventive postponement followed steady rain and citywide flash‑flood warnings in New York and clears the way for two games before the teams resume travel and their next series.
