The Yankees said they reconsidered the challenges of playing through Monday's solar eclipse, which could have resulted in potential in-game delays.
The eclipse is supposed to happen Monday afternoon. The game will now start well after the eclipse is over.
The stadium's gates will now open to fans beginning at 3 p.m.
ABC News and National Geographic will air "Eclipse Across America" live on April 8 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT on ABC, ABC News Live, National Geographic Channel, Nat Geo WILD, Disney+ and Hulu.
