Thursday afternoon's game was halted due to rain at about 2:40 p.m., with the Yankees leading the Rays, 7-4, in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The Yankees and Rays have yet to announce when the game will resume. The forecast calls for rain in the area for the next few hours. This article was originally published on fansided.com as Rays-Yankees rain delay: Rain delay updates, weather forecast from Yankee Stadium.

And ironically, it went to a rain delay just hours before the deadline. Right about at the same time as the delay, the Yankees completed a trade for Pirates reliever David Bednar. It's not like the front office folks needed the rain delay to focus on getting the deal done, but it was fun timing.
