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.
