When the game reschedules a rain-out, just go into the schedule editor and find the make-up date. Then, you can either keep the rescheduled game, change it to a different date, or just delete it.
In the good ol' days, teams tried to reschedule all cancelled games. After all, most of their revenue came from gate receipts, so no team wanted to lose a home date if they could avoid it. Rescheduling a cancelled game as the back-end of a double-header was a popular choice, especially after around 1900. But as cancelled games started to add up during the season (remember, games were cancelled much more frequently back then than today*), the make-ups tended to bunch up in September. Back in the day, it wouldn't be uncommon to see a team play two or three twin-bills in a row in September.
The game will usually reschedule make-up games as double-headers, but if no date is available, it will choose an open date on the schedule. Players who want historical accuracy should be careful about that, as the game might reschedule a make-up game to be played on a Sunday in a city where Sunday baseball was not allowed.
