Braves-Mets rained out in New York<\/p>\n

Rain forces the Braves and Mets to postpone Tuesday’s matchup, setting up a split doubleheader in New York on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\"Amy<\/a>QUEENS COUNTY, N.Y. \u2014<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Braves’ series opener against the New York Mets was postponed Tuesday because of heavy rain in the forecast.<\/p>\n

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader Wednesday at Citi Field. First pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET, with Game 2 set to begin at approximately 7:10 p.m.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service forecasted thunderstorms across the New York area Tuesday evening, with up to two inches of rain and winds reaching 15 mph.<\/p>\n

The Braves are expected to activate right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver from the injured list to start the opener. It will mark his first major league appearance since suffering a torn right ulnar collateral ligament in May 2025. Reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale is slated to start the nightcap.<\/p>\n

The Mets have not officially announced their pitching plans, though Christian Scott and Sean Manaea are expected to start the two games in some order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Braves-Mets rained out in New York Rain forces the Braves and Mets to postpone Tuesday’s matchup, setting up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":764361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2394],"tags":[1266,191,46,41478,4166,5,10081,192,47438,94549,94550,919,10607,9017,1550,3187,20558,14,24970,21275,19,101,4,20900,3537,10555,505,24403,1690,61,7439,16226,6110,5398,1268,14889,24968,94551,12333],"class_list":["post-764360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-atlanta-braves","tag-aj-smith-shawver","tag-atlanta","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-atlanta-sports","tag-atlantabraves","tag-baseball","tag-baseball-season","tag-braves","tag-braves-country","tag-braves-nation","tag-braves-met","tag-chris-sale","tag-christian-scott","tag-citi-field","tag-doubleheader","tag-first-pitch","tag-forecast","tag-game","tag-heavy-rain","tag-inch","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-mets","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-schedule","tag-mlb-news","tag-mph","tag-national-league","tag-national-weather-service","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-mets","tag-nl-east","tag-p-m-et","tag-rain-delay","tag-rainout","tag-sean-manaea","tag-series-opener","tag-split-doubleheader","tag-split-doubleheader-wednesday","tag-wind"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=764360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/764361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
