Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson and other players permanently banned by the sport would have their statuses restored at death.

CINCINNATI — Steady rain and lightning delayed the start of the White Sox’ game Tuesday evening against the Cincinnati Reds, which was originally scheduled for 5:40 p.m. Skies were clearing an hour after crews hauled the tarp over the infield at Great American Ball Park, and first pitch was scheduled for 7:25 p.m.
