Cactus League Adjusts Game Times Amid Unseasonable Arizona Heat
The Arizona Cactus League Association is overseeing schedule shifts as Phoenix area spring training enters unusually high temperatures. A forecasted heat wave has pushed several afternoon games to evening start times, with one Saturday matchup between the Athletics and Dodgers moved earlier to 11 a.m. local time. The adjustments impact games across six stadiums from Wednesday through Friday, with temperatures expected to exceed 100 °F, reaching up to 106 °F through the final weekend of spring training. League officials noted efforts to enhance safety by allowing fans to bring water and providing hydration stations at ballparks. The team’s priority remains the health and safety of players and spectators.
