Rain again wiped out the start of the Detroit Tigers–Chicago White Sox showdown at Rate Field, with a 7:40 p.m. ET window slipping into a rain-delayed abyss as the next weather cell looms. The Tigers and Sox played through intermittent showers the night before, andTuesday’s action remains in flux as forecasters call for more downpours before clear skies. Fantasy managers watch every update, because the delay can redefine starter depth and bullpen usage in a tight series.

Jack Flaherty is lined up to start for Detroit despite the weather, while Yoendrys Gómez is scheduled for Chicago, setting up a test of bullpens early. Detroit’s plan to pivot to bulk relievers Brant Hurter and Troy Melton on Wednesday — if Flaherty doesn’t go deep — signals a bullpen-centric game, with the series opener’s 2-1 Tigers win hinting at low-scoring, late-inning leverage. Monday’s result only reinforces the volatility postseason-style rosters crave in delayed-night baseball.

The forecast and the team-by-team strategy injectes a messy, but potentially lucrative, dynamic for fantasy: monitor the weather window closely, anticipate a bullpen-heavy grind, and prepare to pivot rosters to maximize saves, holds, and speculative wins as the postponement unfolds.
