A pair of Wednesday MLB games have been called off.
The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox game and the contest between the Philadelphia Phillies and Detroit Tigers have been postponed due to poor air quality in New York City and Philadelphia.
The Yankees and White Sox will play a doubleheader Thursday at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET.
The Phillies and Tigers will play Thursday at 6 p.m. ET.
