Hou/NYY game postponed - lineup lock

[whipsaw]

Will Astros and Yankees players lock today when the game should have been played or tomorrow when they actually play?

In the past, they have locked when the first game of the week was suppose to kick off. Better to be safe than sorry - good question.

Lineups lock five minutes before the scheduled first game of the week for each team. So it would be today. It's like if there's a rain delay, the Set Lineup doesn't continue to extend until 5 minutes before the start of the game. Lineups in that case would lock five minutes before the scheduled start time.

This is the same case.
