(Cumberland, GA) — Major League Baseball is considering contingency plans for this weekend’s series in Atlanta between the Braves and Mets. Hurricane Ian, which made landfall as a Category Four storm in Florida on Wednesday, could bring heavy weekend rains in the Atlanta area. Options include shifting Friday’s game to a matinee and/or scheduling a split doubleheader on Sunday. The teams could also make up one or more games on Thursday, October 6th, the day after the regular season is set to conclude. A decision on how to proceed with the series may not be made until the morning of the scheduled opener on Friday.
