Braves-Mets rained out Tuesday; doubleheader Wednesday - MLB.com

What the report says

MLB.com reported that Tuesday’s scheduled game between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves in New York was postponed because heavy rain was forecast. The game is now set to be made up Wednesday as part of a split doubleheader at Citi Field, with first pitch times listed for 1:10 p.m. ET and 7:10 p.m. ET.

The outlet noted that little rain had fallen over Queens on Tuesday at the time described, but the postponement was made in response to the forecast. The original report URL identifies the affected game as the July 28, 2026, matchup between the division rivals.

The change matters for both clubs because a postponement compresses the series schedule and requires players, coaches and pitching staffs to adjust on short notice. In Major League Baseball, doubleheaders can affect bullpen availability, starting rotation plans and roster management, especially when games are played on the same day with only a few hours between them.

MLB.com’s available report did not include additional details on probable pitchers, ticketing arrangements, broadcast changes or whether either team planned roster moves for the doubleheader. Fans planning to attend either game should rely on official Mets, Braves or MLB channels for any updates to gate times, tickets and weather-related changes.
