What happened: Standing water pooled on the warning track at Progressive Field after gates opened during heavy rain. No official ruling on first pitch has been announced and crews signaled intent to wait out the weather. Cleveland players loosened along the third baseline as rain continued.

Why it matters: Game 4 of the ALCS series with the Rays shapes postseason positioning for both clubs. Extended standing water can shift starter availability and bullpen use into the later innings.

What to watch: League and club staff to update first-pitch timing after reassessing precipitation and playing surface.
