The Orioles' fourth postponement of the season on Monday night in Minnesota created a schedule that has not only taken away two future days off but leaves little flexibility to accommodate future rescheduling of rainouts .
The Orioles will make up Monday's game on Thursday, July 28 — which was a common day off for both teams — at 7:10 p.m.. The Orioles will travel from Baltimore following a night game on Wednesday to play the Twins on Thursday, then travel to Toronto for a three-game weekend series there.
Not only does playing a makeup game on July 28 force the Orioles to play games on 17 consecutive days following the All-Star break, it also means the Orioles have no more days off after break to schedule a makeup game without violating the rule in the collective bargaining agreement that prevents teams from playing more than 20 consecutive days without player's union approval.
