Thursday evening’s contest between the host Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians has been postponed due to rain.

The game, which was going to open a four-game set, has been rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Friday. The makeup game will begin at 2:10 p.m. CT with the other game set to take place at its original time, 7:10 p.m.

The White Sox had planned to start right-hander Jonathan Cannon, while the Guardians were going to hurl left-hander Logan Allen. Neither team has announced changes in their pitching rotations for Friday.

Cannon (3-7, 4.50 ERA) ended a six-start winless streak in his most recent outing last Saturday, holding the Colorado Rockies to two runs and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 10-3 win.

Allen (5-7, 4.07 ERA) has lost his past three starts, though he hasn’t pitched poorly in any of those games. Allen most recently held the Detroit Tigers to one run and two hits in six innings but received no run support in a 1-0 loss on Saturday.

Prior to the postponement, Chicago players dressed in jerseys adorned with “45” jersey patches to honor the memory of closer Bobby Jenks, who passed away Friday after a bout with stomach cancer. Jenks was a key contributor for the 2005 World Series-winning White Sox. The team will wear the patches the rest of this season.
