Yankees-Cardinals Rain Delay Pushes First Pitch to 8:05 PM ET

Rain forced a tarp onto the Yankee Stadium field ahead of the scheduled 7:05 PM ET first pitch on August 5, 2026. The Yankees officially announced a new start time of approximately 8:05 PM ET. Will Warren is set to start on the mound for New York. Both teams have a mutual off-day Thursday, leaving open the possibility of a postponement if weather worsens, though officials expect baseball to be played.
