The Detroit Tigers were slated to take on the Minnesota Twins Thursday afternoon, but Mother Nature threw a curveball, forcing the matchup to be pushed to a later date due to rain. According to CBS News Detroit, the game, originally set for 1:10 p.m. at Comerica Park, has now been rescheduled for a straight doubleheader on Saturday at the same time. The second game of the doubleheader will commence roughly 40 minutes after the first game ends.

With the skies expected to remain dreary for the bulk of Thursday, the teams opted to quickly call off the game, as reported by ClickOnDetroit. This adjustment makes it the third postponement for the Tigers this season, an early challenge that the team is becoming all too familiar with.

As per the ticketing policy for the rescheduled game, only those holding tickets for Saturday's original 1:10 p.m. game will be able to attend the doubleheader. Fans with tickets to Thursday's game have the option to exchange them for the doubleheader or any other regular season game of a similar value within the next 12 months, with the exclusion of Opening Day 2025, detailed CBS News Detroit.

The Tigers have rearranged their pitching roster following the rainout with left-hander Tarik Skubal now set to start Friday's game, and right-hander Kenta Maeda taking the mound for game one of Saturday's doubleheader. Meanwhile, right-hander Jack Flaherty will be handling pitching duties on Sunday. As to who will take the helm in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, speculation abounds but right-hander Matt Manning is a likely candidate, as suggested by Detroit Free Press. Manning had previously been scratched from his start with Triple-A Toledo in preparation for a scenario like the rainout.
