The Mets announced that Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians has been postponed due to rain.

Saturday's washout will be made up as part of a split-admission doubleheader on Sunday, with game one scheduled to begin at 1:40 p.m. on PIX11 and game two scheduled for 7:10 p.m. on ESPN.

The Mets catch a small break with the unscheduled day off after using both Adam Ottavino (three games over four days) and David Robertson (three-straight days) in Friday night's dramatic 10-9 walk-off win in extra-innings.

Justin Verlander (1-2, 4.76 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start at Citi Field in the nightcap against RHP Shane Bieber (3-2, 3.20 ERA).
