GAMES ON HOLD

Due to Hurricane Harvey, the Rangers and Astros planned to wait in Dallas for a decision from Major League Baseball about the status of their series scheduled to begin Tuesday night in Houston. The teams didn’t travel there after games Sunday in California because of torrential floodwaters that have engulfed the city in the wake of the storm. “I think everything is up in the air,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. MLB spokesman Michael Teevan said officials are communicating with the teams and monitoring the situation. “Baseball is secondary right now,” Hinch said. “Our schedule, our flight times, where we’re going to be, the buses, like all that stuff is meaningless compared to what everybody is suffering through.” Some have suggested the series could be moved to the Rangers’ home park in Arlington, Texas. The Astros said they would provide an update Monday.
