The game will air on TBS.

Right-handed pitcher Shane Bieber is expected to start for the Guardians. Left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes is expected to start for the Yankees.

"It's happened quite a bit this year," Bieber told reporters Wednesday, when asked about a potential weather interruption. "I wouldn't say I've gotten used to it, but I definitely have a little experience with it."

The Yankees beat the Guardians 4-1 in Game 1 of the best-of-five game ALDS on Tuesday in New York. The winner of the series will meet the Seattle Mariners or Houston Astros in the best-of-seven game American League Championship Series.

The Astros, who lead that series 1-0, will host the Mariners in Game 2 at 3:37 p.m. Thursday in Houston. That game also will air on TBS.
