Rain forces Cubs and Cardinals to postpone Wednesday

Wednesday's game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium has been postponed due to rain.

What It Means:

This negates the previous updates on Javier Baez (rest) and Stephen Piscotty (head). The game will be made up Thursday afternoon at 1:45 ET. John Lackey and Lance Lynn were scheduled to start Wednesday, so look for the same matchup tomorrow.

numberFire's models project Lackey to record a 3.73 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 21.1 strikeout percentage across 183 1/3 innings this season.
