The Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Guardians' game at Progressive Field is currently delayed due to thunderstorms in the area. The delay began shortly before the scheduled 1:40 p.m. ET first pitch, with the National Weather Service forecasting rising precipitation chances as the afternoon progresses. Tarp was deployed on the field after an altercation regarding a bunt by Arizona's Tim Tawa, who broke up Cleveland starter Gavin Williams' perfect game bid. As of 3:25 p.m., no official restart time has been announced amid continued rain and a wet infield. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo predicted a potential delay of about one hour, but weather conditions could extend that timeline, raising the possibility of a postponement if storms persist.
