Two MLB games scheduled for Wednesday have been postponed. The game between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox, as well as the contest between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Detroit Tigers, have been called off.
The decision to postpone the games was made due to the unfavorable air quality conditions in New York City and Philadelphia.
On Thursday, the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox are scheduled to play a doubleheader, with the first game set for 4 p.m. ET and the second game at 7 p.m. ET.
Additionally, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Detroit Tigers will face off at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Both New York and Philadelphia are currently experiencing smoky and hazy conditions, with an orange sky, which is attributed to the wildfires occurring in Canada.
According to the World Air Quality Index, New York City currently has the poorest air quality worldwide, categorized as hazardous.
