Weather disruptions and rescheduling in LIDOM league standings
Heavy rainfall in the Dominican Republic led to the postponement of several scheduled games in the Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM). Affected matchups included games in Santo Domingo, San Francisco de Macorís, and San Pedro de Macorís, involving teams such as Tigres del Licey, Toros del Este, Leones del Escogido, Gigantes del Cibao, Águilas Cibaeñas, and Estrellas Orientales. The weather delays specifically impacted the scheduled debut of former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer, who was set to pitch for Estrellas Orientales. Bauer expressed enthusiasm for the league’s competition and fan base, noting the challenge of local pitchers who often throw near 100 mph. LIDOM has since rescheduled four games. Three several matches, including Leones del Escogido vs. Gigantes del Cibao, Toros del Este vs. Tigres del Licey, and Águilas Cibaeñas vs. Estrellas Orientales, are set for Thursday, October 29, 2026. A suspended game between Estrellas Orientales and Águilas Cibaeñas is scheduled to resume on Monday, November 2. Recent league action saw Orientales.
