New York Mets owner Steven Cohen apologized to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday for the circumstances that led to Tuesday night's series opener between the clubs getting washed out. 

The game was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Wednesday, affecting Miami's pitching plans in the final days of a playoff race.

The incident angered team officials, according to a report by The Athletic.

"Our sincere apologies to the Marlins and their fans for having to postpone last night's game," Cohen posted on X. "We know how important this series is to the Marlins and every effort was made to get the field playable."

The infield at Citi Field wasn't covered with a tarp for at least some portion of last weekend, when rain from Tropical Storm Ophelia began pelting New York City for four straight days.

The tarp was on the field Tuesday, but when showers finally subsided in the late afternoon and the tarp was removed, the field was soggy.

Braxton Garrett was slated to start Tuesday night but instead was pushed back to Wednesday's opener. That means if Miami wants him on the mound again for the regular-season finale Sunday, now it would need to be on short rest.
