The game between Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees has been postponed

The game between Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees has been postponed

The first pitch between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees in their final game of the regular season will have to wait.

The Pirates vs. Yankees are currently in a weather shutdown after first pitch was originally scheduled for 3:05 PM ET. There is no update on what time the game is expected to start.

Pittsburgh will have left-hander Bailey Falter on the bump. Falter is 8-9 through 27 starts this season with a 4.26 ERA and has struck out 97 batters in 139.1 innings pitched.

New York will counter with right-hander Clarke Schmidt on the toe. Schmidt is 5-5 with a 2.55 ERA across 15 starts and has struck out 88 batters in 81.1 innings pitched. Schmidt missed more than three months of the season due to a strained right lat.

The Pirates were already in the news because utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa left the lineup when he was four at-bats away from earning a $250,000 bonus, according to Ethan Hullihen. Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reported that the decision was at IKF’s discretion as he wanted a younger player to get playing time. Liover Peguero can start as short stop.

The Yankees (93-68) have already secured the No. 1 seed in the American League for the playoffs despite dropping the first two games of the series to Pittsburgh (76-85), and the Pirates are already eliminated from the play-offs. If conditions do not improve, it may not be ruled out that the match will be postponed and not made up at all.

Here is the lineup of both teams.

Pirates:

2B Nick Gonzales
DH Bryan Reynolds
CF Oneil Cruz
C Joey Bart
L.F. Joshua Palacios
3B Jared Triolo
RF Nick Yorke
1B Billy Cook
SS Liover Peguero

Yankees:

2B Gleyber Torres
CF Trenth Grisham
DH Giancarlo Stanton
LF Jasson Dominguez
3B Josh Berti
RF Alex Verdugo
SS Anthony Volpe
1B Ben Rice
C Jose Trevino

UPDATE: The first pitch is now scheduled for 4:35 PM ET, the Pirates announced on X.
