Saturday night's scheduled game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium was postponed due to rain. The postponement sets up a split doubleheader for Sunday.
The first game of the doubleheader is slated to begin at 12:35 p.m. Eastern time (9:35 a.m. Pacific time). The series finale will follow at 7:20 p.m. Eastern time (4:20 p.m. Pacific time).
The Dodgers have not yet announced any adjustments to their pitching rotation following the postponement. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was initially scheduled to pitch on Sunday, and Emmet Sheehan was slated for Saturday's game. The team will be permitted to add an extra player to their roster for Sunday's doubleheader.
This will be the Dodgers' first doubleheader since May, when a game against the Mets was also rained out. Sunday's initial game will be broadcast on SportsNet LA, replacing the originally scheduled Fox national broadcast from Saturday night. The evening game will remain on NBC/Peacock.
Weather had been a significant factor anticipated for the Dodgers' current East Coast road trip, with concerns ranging from rain and summer heat to potential air quality issues from Canadian wildfire smoke, which had dissipated before Friday's series opener. Following Sunday's games, the Dodgers are scheduled to travel to Philadelphia for a three-game series against the Phillies, followed by a visit to Washington D.C. to celebrate their 2025 World Series win at the White House. The road swing concludes with a series against the Mets.
