A planned Chicago Cubs–New York Mets game at Citi Field on Monday is postponed because of rain and thunderstorms, according to multiple reports. The Mets announce that the matchup cannot be played as scheduled due to weather conditions, with rain continuing through the afternoon and into the evening and creating uncertainty about whether the game would start. The game is postponed shortly before the scheduled first pitch.
The teams will make up the postponed contest as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday. One game is scheduled to begin at 12:10 p.m. CT, with the second game scheduled for 6:10 p.m. CT. The reports indicate that the four-game series continues with games beginning Tuesday, after which the postponed opener is inserted into Wednesday’s doubleheader.
Before the postponement, Kodai Senga and Shota Imanaga were listed as the scheduled starters for Monday’s game. No further changes to the rest of the series schedule are described in the provided accounts.
