Wednesday night’s Chicago White Sox game against the New York Yankees has been postponed because of “clearly hazardous air quality” at Yankee Stadium.
New York is under a haze because of smoke carried down from wildfires burning in Canada.
The game will be made up Thursday as part of a straight doubleheader beginning at 3:05 p.m. Central time.
Major League Baseball also postponed Wednesday night’s game in Philadelphia between the Phillies and Detroit Tigers. That game will be made up at 5:05 p.m. Thursday, when both teams were scheduled to be off.
“These postponements were determined following conversations throughout the day with medical and weather experts and all of the impacted clubs regarding clearly hazardous air quality conditions in both cities,” MLB said in a statement.
Tuesday’s game, which the Sox won 3-2 behind six no-hit innings from starter Lucas Giolito, was played amid some of the haze, and the conditions have continued Wednesday.
