Texas Rangers pitcher Joe Barlow, right, and catcher Jonah Heim celebrate after the Rangers won a baseball game against the Philadelphia Phillies, May 4, 2022, in Philadelphia.
The series opener between the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees was postponed long before Friday night's scheduled first pitch because of a forecast for sustained inclement weather in the area.
The postponement was announced nearly eight hours before game time.
Texas and New York will make up the game with a single-admission doubleheader Sunday beginning at 12:35 p.m. CT. The teams are also scheduled to play Saturday afternoon when there is again a significant chance of rain in the Bronx.
This weekend marks Texas' only scheduled trip to Yankee Stadium this season.

New York leads the majors with an 18-7 record after its 11-game winning streak was snapped Wednesday night with a 2-1 loss in Toronto. The Rangers are 10-14 but have a season-best four-game winning streak after taking both games in their interleague series at Philadelphia.
The teams didn't immediately announce their pitching plans for Saturday. Gerrit Cole (2-0, 3.00 ERA) was scheduled to start for New York on Friday night against Glenn Otto (1-0, 2.89), a former Yankees farmhand who was traded to Texas in a deal for slugger Joey Gallo last July.
