The New York Yankees won’t have to play three games in a 24-hour span next month, after avoiding a scheduling conflict with ESPN on Tuesday.
The Bombers had voiced frustration with ESPN’ recent attempts to reschedule their games, many of which have been postponed for weather-related reasons.
On Tuesday, MLB said the Yanks’ scheduled game against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Sunday, July 8 will be moved to 1:07 p.m. EST from its original 8 p.m. EST start time.
Aaron Boone‘s team will then play a doubleheader in Baltimore on July 9. The Sunday night game on ESPN on July 8 will now be a Angels-Dodgers game in Anaheim.

On Sunday, Boone told ESPN that such a schedule is “just not good for the product on the field, for the safety of our guys to be having to go night game then fly into a doubleheader. That’s ridiculous, and anyone that would argue with that is not being truthful.”
Thus far this season, the Yankees have had seven contests postponed or suspended due to rain. The team played a day-night doubleheader in Detroit on Monday to make up one of those games.
