Cubs and Guardians Rained Out Saturday, Setting Up Sunday Doubleheader at Progressive Field

Saturday's matchup between the Cubs and Guardians in Cleveland got wiped out by the weather, but the teams aren't letting a little inclement forecast ruin the fun. Both clubs are locked in for a traditional doubleheader on Sunday, with first pitch set for 1:10 p.m. ET and gates opening at noon ET.

What to Know If You Had Saturday Tickets

If you grabbed a ticket to Saturday's game, the Guardians have you covered. You can use the full value of your ticket in your My Tickets account and exchange it for one of 51 designated games, including Sunday's doubleheader. Just know that additional fees may apply and you need to make the swap by noon ET on May 5. Fair warning: you can't do exchanges through the Ballpark app, so handle it online.

Want to catch both games on Sunday? You can do that too, and you'll keep the same seat for both contests. Only those with tickets to Sunday's original game can attend, but if you're looking to see everything, you're welcome to stick around for both.

The Rotation Shuffle

The Guardians are staying put with their original rotation plan. Slade Cecconi, who was slated to start Saturday, will take the mound for game one. Parker Messick, who was supposed to go Sunday originally, will start game two.

The Cubs decided to flip things around. Edward Cabrera, originally scheduled for Sunday, will start the first game instead. Shota Imanaga, who was set to pitch Saturday, moves to the second game.

Both teams get to carry an extra player on their active roster Sunday, but it has to be someone already on the 40-man roster.

How to Watch

Saturday's game was supposed to air on FOX as a national broadcast, but with the postponement, both Sunday games will be carried locally. Guardians TV and Marquee Sports Network will have the action for you.
