The current delay of the Yankees game is due to a rain delay. The game was paused during the sixth inning as heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and inclement weather moved through Yankee Stadium. The tarp was pulled over the field to protect it, and the delay could last for an extended period as heavy rain continues. The Yankees announced the delay is official and they will update with more information as it becomes available. The rain and storm system is expected to persist into the evening, potentially delaying the game resumption until at least the late afternoon or evening hours. This game remains critical, so officials are waiting for the weather to clear before resuming play.
