Major League Baseball postponed Game 4 of the Chicago White Sox-Houston Astros ALDS due to inclement weather in the forecast, it was announced Monday.

The game will now be played at Guaranteed Rate Field on Tuesday at 1:07 p.m. CT, which was scheduled to be an off day in the event a Game 5 was needed. Should the series need a deciding fifth game, it would still be played on Wednesday in Houston, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

It wasn't raining in Chicago when the game was called, but local weather forecasts call for thunderstorms all afternoon starting at 2 p.m. CT.

Carlos Rodon and Jose Urquidy were scheduled to start on Monday for Chicago and Houston, respectively. White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Rodon will still start for his team on Tuesday, according to James Fegan of The Athletic.

The Astros will counter with Lance McCullers Jr. in Game 4 instead of Urquidy. McCullers started and beat Chicago in Game 1 of the series.

The Astros lead the best-of-five series two games to one.
