If you live in the area, then you know how bad the weather is. After a few days without it, the heavy rain has returned for this weekend.
It started last night and has continued today. Most of the heavy rain was earlier out here in Staten Island. However, they’ve predicted more severe weather for later tonight into tomorrow.
With local flooding possible, they’ve even put out an emergency alert. If you don’t have to travel, then stay inside. The stormy weather caused the Mets to postpone the rest of the ninth inning against the Marlins late last night. It will only be made up if Miami needs the game on Monday.
As expected, there’s no baseball tonight. The Mets and Phillies will make it up as a single doubleheader tomorrow. Not surprisingly, the Rangers and Islanders won’t play their preseason match later. Instead, it’ll be made up on Saturday night.
The following players were put on waivers by the Rangers:
Alex Belzile, Anton Blidh, Turner Elson, Ty Emberson, Connor Mackey, Riley Nash
If they clear, they’ll be reassigned. The club also announced that Nikolas Brouillard, Karl Henriksson, Ryder Korczak, and Bobby Trivigno have been assigned to the Wolf Pack.
Both Adam Clendening and Blake Hillman were released from their pro tryouts (PTO).
There aren’t any surprises. With still three games left on the preseason slate, the Rangers have to start cutting down the roster. There’s still plenty of players that remain in camp. Here’s the breakdown:
GOALIES
Igor Shesterkin, Jonathan Quick, Dylan Garand, Louis Domingue
DEFENSEMEN
Adam Fox, Ryan Lindgren, K’Andre Miller, Jacob Trouba, Erik Gustafsson, Braden Schneider, Zac Jones, Ben Harpur, Matthew Robertson, Mac Hollowell, Brandon Scanlin
