Wednesday's White Sox, Tigers game postponed due to rain

Wednesday's game between the Detroit Tigers and White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field has been postponed due to rain.

What It Means:

It's the second game in the series to be rained out after Monday's contest was also called off. Wednesday's duel will be made up on May 26 as part of a doubleheader. James Shields will still pitch Thursday's series finale, but Jordan Zimmerman is going to be replaced by Matt Boyd on Detroit's hill.

For the season, Shields is expected to record a 4.68 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 16.9 strikeout percentage over 182 2/3 innings.
