Wednesday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and host Philadelphia Phillies has been postponed due to inclement weather.
The game has been rescheduled to open a split doubleheader on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park.
The first game is slated for 1:05 p.m. ET, with the originally scheduled night game remaining at 6:45 p.m.
The Braves will push Wednesday’s scheduled starter, AJ Smith-Shawver (3-2, 3.67 ERA), to the early game on Thursday. He is looking to rebound from his worst start of 2025. The right-hander allowed seven runs in three innings against the Washington Nationals on May 22. Previously, he had given up just one earned run in 19 2/3 innings in his first three starts this month.
The Phillies will open with left-hander Cristopher Sanchez (4-1, 3.17) and move Wednesday’s slated starter, right-hander Zack Wheeler (6-1, 2.42) to the night game. Wheeler, the 2024 National League Cy Young runner-up, is sporting a streak of 22 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
Wheeler’s counterpart on Thursday night is left-hander Chris Sale (2-3, 3.36), the NL Cy Young winner last season.
