The Wednesday afternoon start of the White Sox‘ game against the Phillies was delayed with rain moving into the Chicago area.
Crews pulled the tarp on the infield ahead of the originally scheduled 1:10 p.m. start time. The team still didn’t have an estimate for first pitch by 3 p.m.
The National Weather Service was forecasting showers through most of the afternoon.
The Sox were looking to win the rubber match against Philadelphia, while general manager Chris Getz & Co. were working the phones with a day to go before the MLB trade deadline.
Outfielder Austin Slater became the first player jettisoned from the Sox clubhouse in a Wednesday morning trade, with all eyes on Adrian Houser — who was scratched from his start — and Luis Robert Jr. as potential commodities on the move.
The 1:10 p.m. start was pushed back without an estimate for first pitch.
