After their Sunday game in Cincinnati was postponed by rain, the Dodgers didn’t even take the field Monday in New York, with their Memorial Day game against the Mets postponed by weather.
The teams will instead play a double-header at Citi Field on Tuesday before concluding the three-game series on Wednesday.
Tyler Glasnow will start Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader, which starts at 1:10 PM PDT. Gavin Stone will start Game 2 of the traditional single-admission double-header.
James Paxton will pitch Wednesday, in what would be his first start this season on a normal four-day rest.

The Dodgers came to New York in the midst of a season-long five-game losing streak and a 7-9 record in their last 16 games overall.
The club’s offense has struggled of late, with the Dodgers averaging just 3.5 runs per game since the start of their May 10 loss (sixth-fewest in the Majors during that span). However, they remain safely in first place in the National League West and go into play on Monday with a 5 ½ game lead in the division.
Rehabilitation updates
Injured pitchers Bobby Miller (shoulder) and Evan Phillips (hamstring) both began a rehabilitation assignment on Sunday with single A Rancho Cucamonga. Miller, who has been out since early April, gave up three runs in a three-inning start, striking out four, walking two and yielding four hits. Phillips followed with a scoreless inning of relief and struck out two.
