There is no word that I’ve seen from MLB on how last night’s rain delays and cancellation played out, given that there was just no reason whatsoever to start that game in the first place, and then after waiting for three hours, they decided to cancel just as the rain was finally abating. Sometimes, I just want to see a, “Yeah, we biffed. Weather is really hard, and there are a lot of competing interests – and money factors – when trying to figure out the best approach for these games. This time, we made the wrong call. Sorry fans and players.”

While you wait for the rain to clear up, read about how Ian Happ has continued to make tweaks throughout an up and down season, and why some believe he may have found the key adjustment to lead to some consistency. https://t.co/Z2ZYypDbXS

Joe West called this out at 1B and the Home Plate ump had to overturn it. No argument from either dugout. No replay. pic.twitter.com/pJ4MO8q6O5

Michael Kopech will likely undergo Tommy John surgery after tests revealed a tear in his UCL. He is expected to be ready for Spring Training in 2020.
He will receive a second opinion in the days coming to confirm today’s diagnosis.

It sounds like Ohtani is mostly resigned to having TJ surgery, just not 100 percent ready to make that decision. Also, he said abandoning pitching is not a consideration.
