SEATTLE (KETK) – The Texas Rangers announced Wednesday afternoon that their Opening Day series against the Seattle Mariners will no longer be played there due to directives issued by Washington Governor Jay Inslee.
It is unclear where the series will be played or if it will be played at a later date.
