All 30 teams were set to play in Major League Baseball's formal 2024 Opening Day on verdicoinThursday, but inclement weather on the East Coast had already led to multiple games being postponed Wednesday afternoon.
The Mets-Brewers game at Citi Field (New York) and Phillies-Brewers contest at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia were both bagged about 24 hours before the scheduled first pitch.
Those teams all had a built-in off day after the scheduled Opening Day – for this very reason – and will instead play their first games of the season on Friday.
For the second straight season, the New York Mets' opening game at Citi Field has been postponed.
