The clubs were scheduled to start a three-game series Friday, but instead, weather permitting, they will play a single game Saturday with the Sunday games scheduled for 1:10 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. local time with separate admissions required.
It was not yet known how the rainout would affect either team's pitching plans. Right-hander Dakota Hudson (0-3, 4.15 ERA) was scheduled to start for the Rockies on Friday against Mariners starter Emerson Hancock (1-2, 7.98 ERA).

Cubs make easy work of Marlins in Jameson Taillon's season debut
Activated from the 15-day injured list on Thursday, Taillon (1-0) surrendered just one run on three hits. He didn't walk a batter while striking out four.
Nico Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run for Chicago, which also got two hits apiece from Cody Bellinger, Dansby Swanson and Mike Tauchman.
Bryan De La Cruz went deep and Jazz Chisholm went 2-for-4 for Miami, which has now dropped 16 of 20 games to open the season. The Marlins finished with six hits, three of which came in the ninth.
Chicago broke the game open with a four-run third.
Shortly after the Cubs loaded the bases with no outs, Garrett Cooper singled home Bellinger before another run scored on Nick Madrigal's fielder's choice-grounder. Miguel Amaya proceeded to cap the rally with a two-run double to make it 7-0.
Because of that outburst, Marlins starter A.J. Puk (0-4) didn't return to the mound for the fourth, giving up a career-worst seven runs on seven hits in three innings. He walked three and fanned four.
Miami got a run back in the fourth on De La Cruz's solo shot. However, Tauchman restored Chicago's seven-run cushion an inning later, ripping an RBI single to right.
Puk was roughed up right from the jump, surrendering Bellinger's run-scoring single and Swanson's RBI double in the first.
Hoerner then doubled to drive in Madrigal to push the Cubs' lead to 3-0 in the second.
The Marlins' bullpen was able to stop the bleeding following Puk's departure, as Declan Cronin, Burch Smith and Andrew Nardi combined for five innings of one-run relief.
Nick Gordon drove in a pair of runs with a single in the ninth for Miami.
Rockies place LHP Kyle Freeland (elbow) on 15-day IL
The move is retroactive to Tuesday for Freeland, who appeared to injure his right shoulder while attempting to score the go-ahead run in the ninth inning Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Manager Bud Black, however, said Freeland was "fine" after the game.

Reports: FAA investigating cockpit visit by Rockies coach
Based on a since-deleted video posted to social media, The Denver Post identified the person sitting at the controls of the team's April 10 flight as hitting coach Hensley Meulens.
"Had some fun in the cockpit on our flight from Denver to Toronto," Meulens wrote in the caption, per The Post. "Thanks to the captain and the first officer of our United charter that allowed me this great experience."
The report added that Meulens can be heard making a joke about landing the plane. In addition, a second, unidentified coach entered the cockpit at some point.
Meulens, 56, played in 182 games in the major leagues from 1989-98.
Federal regulations, made more strict following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, limit who has access to the cockpit.
The Rockies have yet to comment on the matter.
"We're deeply disturbed by what we see in that video, which appears to show an unauthorized person in the flight deck at cruise altitude while the autopilot was engaged," United Airlines said in a statement sent to the publications. "As a clear violation of our safety and operational policies, we've reported the incident to the FAA and have withheld the pilots from service while we conduct an investigation."
While security risks are perceived to be less with teams that have chartered flights, regulations are not waived. By FAA rules and United's flight operations manual, charters have the same safety standards as commercial flights and the cockpit is off-limits to unauthorized people, per The Wall Street Journal.
Logan Webb, Giants shut out D-backs in series opener
Pinch hitter Wilmer Flores broke open a tight game with a two-run double in the eighth.
LaMonte Wade Jr. drove in the only run of the first 7 1/2 innings with a sacrifice fly. Mike Yastrzemski capped a four-run eighth with a two-run single, helping the Giants win a second straight game for just the second time this season.
Webb was the star of the show after getting off to a rocky start in which he served up game-opening singles to Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll.
The right-hander escaped damage by retiring the next three men he faced, stranding Marte at third, before setting the Diamondbacks down in order until issuing a one-out walk to Christian Walker in the seventh.
Walker was quickly erased on a pickoff, and after Webb got Eugenio Suarez to ground out to third, he was done for the night, having walked one and struck out five.
Protecting a 1-0 lead at the time, Giants reliever Tyler Rogers allowed just a two-out single to Randal Grichuk in a scoreless eighth. San Francisco's Ryan Walker, comforted by the four-run eighth, struck out the side in the ninth.
Nick Ahmed ignited the big eighth inning with a leadoff double against the third Diamondbacks pitcher, Bryce Jarvis. After an error by second baseman Marte and a walk to Wade, Jarvis temporarily stemmed the tide by getting Jorge Soler to ground into a force out, with Ahmed retired at the plate.
Kyle Nelson came on and was greeted by Flores' double to left field, which made it 3-0. Yastrzemski's two-run hit came with two outs to complete the scoring.
Arizona starter Ryne Nelson was pulled after two innings, after getting hit on the right (pitching) arm by a Yastrzemski comebacker in the second. He allowed two hits in his two scoreless innings, during which he had no strikeouts nor walks.
San Francisco's Patrick Bailey doubled to lead off the third against reliever Logan Allen (0-1), advanced to third on Jung Hoo Lee's infield hit and scored on Wade's fly ball to center.
Lee had two hits for the Giants, who went a seventh straight home game without a home run.
The Diamondbacks finished with three hits, all singles, while taking their third loss in four games.

LHP Aroldis Chapman suspended 2 games for 'inappropriate actions'
Unless he appeals, Chapman's suspension begins on Friday when the Pirates host the Boston Red Sox. If he elects to appeal, the discipline is halted until the process is complete.
Chapman (0-1, 4.76 ERA) had given up a two-run double to the Mets' Harrison Bader and then walked over to home plate and spoke to umpire Edwin Moscoso, who ejected him.
"He evidently said something that the umpire did not like," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said after Monday's game.
With the game tied 3-3, Chapman struck out Francisco Alvarez, then got Jeff McNeil looking, but he reached first on a wild pitch on strike three. Chapman walked DJ Stewart on a full count, and both runners moved up one base on steals before Harrison Bader drove in the go-ahead run.
Chapman was charged with three runs and took the loss.
Yankees claim OF Taylor Trammell off waivers from Dodgers
Trammell had gotten into just five major league games in his first season with the Dodgers and went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts before being designated for assignment on Tuesday.
Trammell, 26, broke into the big leagues in 2021 with the Seattle Mariners and played parts of three seasons for them. Once a first-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2016, Trammell has batted just .165 with 15 home runs and 39 RBIs in 121 games for Seattle (2021-23) and Los Angeles.
To make room for Trammell on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated infielder Kevin Smith for assignment. New York signed Smith, 27, last winter but he has appeared in just one game in 2024 without a plate appearance.
Guardians capitalize on mistakes to beat Red Sox

Cleveland tied the game in the third on an RBI single from Gimenez that scored Gabriel Arias, then took a 2-1 lead on Josh Naylor's single that drove in David Fry in the fourth.
The Guardians added two runs to go up 4-1 in the fifth. A single by Gimenez drove in Ramon Laureano, who had reached base on a throwing error. Brayan Rocchio scored when Jose Ramirez hit into a fielder's choice.
It became a 5-1 game when Laureano singled to drive in Tyler Freeman in the sixth.
Boston pulled within a run by scoring three times in the sixth. Reese McGuire and Ceddanne Rafaela each scored on Duran's triple, and then Duran made it 5-4 by scoring on Cade Smith's balk.
Rafael Devers was not in Boston's lineup. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said postgame that an MRI on Devers' knee revealed only a bone bruise.
Amed Rosario, Ryan Pepiot help Rays split 4-game set with Angels
Batting third in the lineup, Rosario produced his big hit in the first inning, tripling in a run and then scoring on a sacrifice fly. The offseason acquisition increased his hitting streak to 10 games and boosted his average to .339.

In the bottom of the first, Rosario put his side up 1-0 by slicing a triple down the right field line, plating Palacios, who had walked.
Harold Ramirez staked them to a 2-0 lead with a sacrifice fly to right.
Pepiot stranded two Angels in scoring position in the second when Nolan Schanuel flied out to left, and the right-hander settled in nicely in his fourth start for Tampa Bay.
Through the first five scoreless innings, Pepiot allowed three hits and two walks, but a brief moment of wildness in the sixth helped put the visitors on the board.
Trout led off the frame with a walk and soon stole both second and third. Sano then brought him home with a sacrifice fly to right to cut the deficit to 2-1.
Tampa Bay mounted a strong threat in the sixth after Palacios and Rosario singled to open the inning, chasing Canning from the game. Reliever Luis Garcia then forced a double-play grounder.
After closer Pete Fairbanks blew a save in the Angels' 5-4 rally on Wednesday, the Rays' bullpen got redemption by shutting down Los Angeles over the final three innings.
Following scoreless innings by Garrett Cleavinger and Phil Maton, Colin Poche allowed two singles in the ninth before retiring pinch hitter Brandon Drury on a fielder's choice for his second save.
Rangers put away Tigers in high-scoring affair

Texas' lead grew to 4-0 in the next inning on Wyatt Langford's RBI double and Heim's long ball.
Detroit tied the contest in the bottom of the inning. With two runners on, Baez ripped an RBI double. Carson Kelly's groundout brought home another run. Greene then tripled to center, knocking in Baez, before Mark Canha's RBI single completed the four-run uprising.
Maeda couldn't hold the lead for long. The second batter in the third inning, Garcia, clubbed a solo homer over the left-center field wall. Langford drew a two-walk and advanced to third on Heim's single. An error by second baseman Colt Keith allowed Langford to score.
Semien doubled in the fourth, moved to third on an error and scored on Evan Carter's sacrifice fly to make it 7-4.

A walk, a single and a double steal put runners at second and third with one out before Rendon singled to left. Jo Adell scored from third to tie the game, and Zach Neto appeared to scored from second to put the Angels up for the moment.

Three consecutive singles started the inning, capped by an RBI hit from Randy Arozarena, cutting the Angels' lead to 3-2. With runners on first and third and no outs, Detmers was able to get Paredes to pop out to catcher Logan O'Hoppe.
Angels manager Ron Washington removed Detmers in favor of the sidearm reliever Cimber, who recorded the final two outs without allowing another run to score, maintaining the 3-2 lead.
The Rays threatened again in the seventh, putting runners on first and second with one out, but Cimber escaped when the shortstop Neto made a diving catch of a line drive by Diaz and then dived into second base to double up Curtis Mead to end the inning.

It was Boston's first victory in the four-game series. Cleveland won Monday's matchup 6-0, and prevailed 10-7 in 11 innings Tuesday. The set wraps up Thursday.
Kyle Schwarber, Phils snuff Rockies' rally
The Phillies finished off a three-game sweep as they won for the sixth time in their past eight games. Colorado has lost five straight and seven of its past eight.

Sanchez retired the final four hitters he faced, getting the Rockies in order in the sixth.
Down 7-1, Colorado rallied against reliever Gregory Soto in the eighth. Three singles loaded the bases, and Elehuris Montero brought home one run with a sacrifice fly. A walk reloaded the bases, and Michael Toglia's walk made it 7-3 and ended Soto's night.
Facing right-hander Jeff Hoffman, pinch hitter Charlie Blackmon grounded out to bring in another run. Hoffman walked Jacob Stallings to load the bases yet again, and Ezequiel Tovar singled to left to make it 7-6.
Phillies closer Jose Alvarado surrendered a two-out single in the ninth to Montero, and pinch runner Nolan Jones stole second. But Alvarado closed it out by getting a popout for his third save of the season.
Philadelphia didn't wait long to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead. After Schwarber's first blast, Trea Turner followed with a solo shot to left field, his second homer of the season. With one out, J.T. Realmuto grounded a single to right and Alec Bohm doubled him in. Brandon Marsh made it a four-run frame with an RBI single to right.
The Phillies added on in the fifth when Turner doubled for his third hit and later scored on Realmuto's groundout. In the sixth, Johan Rojas doubled with one out, chasing Feltner in favor of Peter Lambert. Schwarber then hit the third pitch he saw for a two-run homer.
Feltner yielded six runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked two and fanned eight.

Whitlock is 1-0 with a 1.96 ERA in his four starts this season, though he had only pitched five innings or fewer in his first three outings.
Manager Alex Cora told reports the team hopes Whitlock can return when he's eligible, which would give a depleted rotation a boost.
Free-agent signee Lucas Giolito and prospect Chris Murphy have had Tommy John surgery this spring and won't return until 2025. Nick Pivetta (strained elbow flexor) has been out since the first week of the season.
