Major League Baseball is reportedly in talks with the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets about "contingency plans" for their weekend series as Hurricane Ian impacts the southeast.
The Braves and Mets, who are tied for the NL East division lead with seven games left in the regular season, are scheduled to play a three-game series at Truist Park in Atlanta beginning Friday.
Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported Tuesday that early discussions centered around moving Friday's game from the night to the afternoon and potentially playing a split doubleheader Sunday.
The league hasn't yet considered a neutral-site series, which would take away the Braves' home-field advantage and cost the franchise revenue, or moving the start of the series to Thursday despite a mutual day off, per DiComo.
