This story has been updated from a previous version.
MLB is continuing to monitor air quality conditions for several games scheduled to take place in the Northeast U.S. amid ongoing wildfires in Canada.
The league has postponed the Yankees-White Sox game and Phillies-Tigers games as a result of the poor air quality, following advisements for people to limit their outdoor activities. In Yankees’ case, they followed the example set by the NWSL postponing a scheduled game in the New York area.
Apart from the New York and Philadelphia games, the MLB contests most likely to be affected include Astros at Blue Jays and Diamondbacks at Nationals.
Baseball fans on Tuesday saw several games play out under less-than-ideal conditions as smoke from Canada wafted down the East Coast. The last time air quality played such a prominent role in games was in 2020, when wildfires burned up and down the West Coast.
