Astros, Yankees to play Game 4 of ALCS on Thursday after rainout

Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees has been postponed due to expected inclement weather in New York on Wednesday night.

First pitch for Game 4 will be on Thursday at 8:08 p.m. ET, while Game 5 has been rescheduled for 7:08 p.m. ET Friday.

The Astros have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. The winner will face the Washington Nationals in the World Series.

The move could affect pitching plans for both teams. The Astros could bring back Zack Greinke for Game 4 on regular rest, and the Yankees -- who were planning a bullpen day for Game 4 -- could instead go back to Masahiro Tanaka on regular rest.
