UPDATE: The game is now expected to start at 3:30p.m. ET.

Sunday’s Chicago White Sox-Cleveland Guardians game at Progressive Field has entered an inclement-weather delay.

The AL Central matchup was scheduled for Sunday afternoon in Cleveland, but weather moved into the area before the game could settle into its normal rhythm. Rain and thunderstorm risk had been in the forecast throughout the day, with conditions creating another delay in a series already shaped by weather.

This is the second weather interruption of the weekend between the White Sox and Guardians. Friday’s game was delayed for 1 hour, 55 minutes after Miguel Vargas hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the fifth inning. Cleveland later came back to win 4-3 in 10 innings, using the delay to reset a game Chicago had briefly seized.

The Guardians entered the weekend fighting to protect position near the top of the AL Central, while the White Sox have been trying to steady themselves after a rough stretch and a taxed bullpen.
