The teams announced there will not be a doubleheader on Wednesday, nor will there be a game played on Thursday when the teams have a mutual off-day. There is rain in the forecast for the Cincinnati area Wednesday and Thursday.
The Pirates are set to begin a weekend series against the Cubs in Chicago on Friday, while the Reds are scheduled to travel to Philadelphia for a three-game series against the Phillies.
