New York Yankees’ game vs Rays postponed by rain as Aaron Judge’s offensive slump draws criticism

The New York Yankees postponed Saturday’s scheduled game against the Tampa Bay Rays because of a forecast for sustained rain. The matchup will be made up as a day‑night doubleheader on September 22, with the makeup game at 1:05 p.m. and the regularly scheduled game at 7:05 p.m.

In the most recent meeting, the Yankees lost 4‑2 and power‑hitter Aaron Judge continued a poor stretch, going hitless, striking out, and extending an eleven‑game RBI drought—the worst 40‑plate‑appearance stretch of his career. Former Yankee Paul O’Neill said, “Aaron Judge is being pitched around… you can’t rely on him every day,” emphasizing the need for other hitters to step up.
