MLB announced that two additional series have been canceled through April 13, which raised the total to 184 that won’t be played from the 2,430-game season or 7.6 percent of games.
“In a last-ditch effort to preserve a 162-game season, this week we have made good-faith proposals that address the specific concerns voiced by the MLBPA and would have allowed the players to return to the field immediately,” Manfred said in a statement. “Because of the logistical realities of the calendar, another two series are being removed from the schedule, meaning that opening day is postponed until April 14.”
