JUPITER, Fla. — Wednesday’s games between the Daytona Tortugas and Jupiter Hammerheads have been postponed in adherence to Minor League Baseball’s health and safety protocols. The Tortugas and Hammerheads will continue to practice caution and follow the guidance of health and safety experts and further updates on the rescheduling of tonight’s game will be provided when available.
The Tortugas regret having to postpone tonight’s games on such short notice, but the safety of our players, coaches, and fans is of utmost importance for our organization and Minor League Baseball.
RHP Javi Rivera (2-2, 3.06) is projected to make the start for the Tortugas in the suspended game from Tuesday when the series resumes. RHP Tanner Cooper (4-2, 3.21) is likely to take the hill in game two. The Hammerheads are scheduled to counter with RHP Luarbert Arias (3-0, 3.63) and LHP Sandro Bargallo (1-2, 3.29) in the suspended affair and nightcap, respectively. Coverage on the Tortugas Radio Network will begin on the MiLB First Pitch app and www.daytonatortugas.com at 4:45 p.m. leading up to the 5:00 p.m. first pitch from Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.
The Tortugas will return to Jackie Robinson Ballpark on Tuesday, August 9, to open up a two-week homestand with six games against the Lakeland Flying Tigers, the Florida State League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The series opens with another Shell Yeah Cookout. The $15 add-on includes the full “Bases Loaded” menu during a 90-minute buffet with hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, baked beans, cookies, Pepsi products, and more. It is also a Breast Cancer Awareness Night presented by Radiology Associates Imaging. The Tortugas will don unique pink-clad uniforms that will be auctioned off at the end of the season with all proceeds to raise money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. Silver Sluggers Night presented by Conviva is a part of the festivities. The exclusive 60-and-older club features deals at the team store, concession stands for members, and more. The series opener also marks a Taco Tuesday with options at the concession stands starting at just $3.
