Friday’s series opening game between the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers was postponed until Saturday due to rain.

With the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby expected to bring torrential rain and high winds into the evening hours – and tornado warnings issued for parts of New York State – the game was postponed shortly after 11 a.m.

The series is now scheduled to open with a traditional doubleheader on Saturday – the second of the week for the Yankees, who split a doubleheader with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday after a rainout on Tuesday.

The teams have not yet announced their starters for Saturday’s doubleheader. The Yankees were scheduled to start left-hander Carlos Rodón (12-7, 4.37 ERA) on Friday and right-hander Gerrit Cole (3-2, 5.09 ERA) on Saturday. The Rangers’ first two scheduled starters for the series were right-handers Cody Bradford (3-0, 3.96 ERA) and Nathan Eovaldi (8-5, 3.62 ERA).

The Yankees entered Friday with a 68-48 tie for the top spot in the AL East with the Baltimore Orioles. The Rangers, the defending World Series champions who were honored at the White House on a non-game Thursday, are 54-61, 5 1/2 games behind the Houston Astros and Seattle Rangers in the AL West.
