The Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies are set to play in the third iteration of the Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa, at a field adjacent to the site of the iconic 1989 movie at 6:30 p.m. CDT tonight. The matchup will be available to watch on Netflix. Unfortunately, it looks like there's a strong possibility the game won't be played tonight.
My official Field of Dreams report from Iowa… find some rain gear and ponchos if attending. It’s not going to be that magical kind of night w/WhiteSox vs Yankees this year. @MLB this is punishment for not making this a Sox home game event. #GoTheDistance #IsThisHeaven pic.twitter.com/LFi8YnhlBv

The Twins and Phillies have a scheduled off day on Friday before the series resumes in Minneapolis on Saturday. If the Field of Dreams Game is unable to be played tonight, there's a chance they could play on Friday instead.

⚾️☔️ Pretty pleased with model trends in Dyersville Iowa for the Field of Dreams game. Heavy stuff likely holds well South, and I’m not expecting more than a few sprinkles over the ballpark.
