Royals-Rays postponed, will play doubleheader Wednesday afternoon

Tuesday night’s Royals game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Kauffman Stadium has been postponed because of heavy rain, the team announced shortly after 3:30 p.m.

The teams, who opened a four-game series on Monday night, will play a single-admission doubleheader on Wednesday with the first game scheduled for a 12:15 p.m. first pitch. The second game will begin 45 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.

Royals right-hander Jakob Junis, Tuesday’s scheduled starter, will start one of Wednesday’s games. The Royals will add right-hander Glenn Sparkman with the 26th roster spot afforded because of the doubleheader.
