The LA Dodgers will continue with their scheduled game against the Baltimore Orioles at Dodger Stadium on June 21, even as smoke from a nearby warehouse fire shrouds the area. Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts stated that the league feels it is safe to play, despite air quality concerns. Earlier in the day, smoke from the Boyle Heights fire caused visibility issues around the stadium, and some staff sought masks due to the conditions. As the game time approaches, air quality is reportedly improving. Rescheduling the game could be challenging due to the Dodgers’ upcoming travel to Minnesota and the Orioles’ schedule.
