With the Cubs idle on Sept. 26, two games could affect their postseason position: Tampa Bay visits Philadelphia at 6:15 p.m. CT, and Arizona visits San Diego at 7:40 p.m. CT. Griffin Jax faces Aaron Nola; Taylor Clarke is Arizona’s opener against Walker Buehler.
Nola is scheduled to pitch on two days’ rest after throwing 88 pitches three days earlier. The forecast in Philadelphia is poor for Sept. 26 and 27, which could cause complications.
Arizona has won six straight games. Phillies-Rays will air nationally on Fox-TV with no blackouts; Diamondbacks-Padres is available on MLB.TV.
