Rain Postpones Cubs-Mets Game; Doubleheader Scheduled
US · Published Jun 23, 2026
The series opener between the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets, scheduled for Monday night at Citi Field in New York, was postponed due to rain.
This marks the second consecutive rainout for the Cubs, following a canceled game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday at Wrigley Field.

Impact & Risks

The rainout affects both teams' schedules, forcing them to play a doubleheader on Wednesday, which could strain pitching rotations and player stamina. Fans attending Monday's game were inconvenienced, as the postponement was announced just 30 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Additionally, Francisco Lindor's recovery timeline may be slightly impacted, as his simulated game was canceled. Weather-related disruptions like this can also affect ticket holders and local businesses reliant on game-day traffic.
