The Yankees were forced to play their second doubleheader in four days this week amid a string of inclement weather.
Friday’s series opener against the Rangers at Yankee Stadium was postponed due to forecast inclement weather.
The two teams will play in a single-entry doubleheader on Saturday at 1:05 p.m.
The Yankees had their series opener against the Angels postponed due to rain on Tuesday, and the two teams tied it out in a doubleheader on Wednesday.
Three games in two days, with Luis Gil, Will Warren and Nestor Cortes combining for just 14 innings, took a toll on the Yankees’ relief corps, but Friday’s postponement should help in that regard.
Carlos Rodon was scheduled to start Friday, Gerrit Cole followed Saturday and Marcus Stroman was scheduled to start Sunday after being postponed Tuesday to adjust his mechanics.
The Yankees did not immediately say how the postponement of Friday’s game would change their pitching plans.
