The Royals’ series finale against the New York Yankees on Thursday afternoon has been postponed because of inclement weather, the Yankees announced Thursday morning.
The game has been rescheduled for Monday, Sept. 25 at Yankee Stadium. The start time is still to be determined. The Royals lost two of three here in New York, falling to 19-27 on the season. They will continue what will now be a nine-game road trip against the Cleveland Indians on Friday night at Progressive Field.
Rookie right-hander Miguel Almonte was scheduled to make his first career start on Thursday. The club could now push him back to Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium and allow Ian Kennedy to start on regular rest on Friday.
