Tropical Storm Elsa's path is cutting through the Southeast, and it's already resulted in one postponement for the Charlotte Knights, whose game in Jacksonville on Wednesday has already been turned into a doubleheader on Thursday.
The rest of the affiliates should be out of the path of the worst of it, although it's possible Thursday's slate could be murky for Winston-Salem (which is home) and Kannapolis (playing in Virginia). The Barons are in Mississippi, and obviously Arizona doesn't factor into such conversations at all.
