What happened: Play was delayed with Lawrence Butler involved in the bottom of the third inning. The score was 3-0 at the time.

Why it matters: Butler's availability could affect the remainder of the game and upcoming schedule. Any further evaluation will determine whether the interruption has longer-term implications.

By the numbers: Butler entered the weekend batting .198 with a .290 on-base percentage and .300 slugging percentage in 2026. He underwent surgery in October to repair a partial tear in his right patellar tendon and address chronic scar tissue.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of Butler's condition and whether he remains available for the next game.
