Minnesota Twins Announce Rain Delay Before Tonight's Game
The Minnesota Twins announced tonight's game is beginning under a rain delay, with further updates to be provided as they become available.
Tonight's game at Minnesota is getting a wet start.
The Twins announced via their official account that the game will begin under a rain delay, with additional details to follow as they become available. No timetable or further specifics were included in the announcement.
What we don't know yet
The club has not indicated how long the delay is expected to last — the sport's most time-honored pregame ritual of radar-watching is now in full effect.
The Twins have been an active club in recent days, with Byron Buxton returning from the injured list and the Alex Jackson roster situation resolving itself through waivers and a Triple-A assignment to St. Paul. Whether any of that activity affects tonight's lineup remains to be seen once the delay lifts and the club posts further updates.
