MassLive • • sports
Key Points:
- Due to a forecasted Nor’easter, the Red Sox and MLB have rescheduled the Sept. 27 game against the Chicago Cubs to a doubleheader on Sept. 25, with games at 1:05 p.m. and 6:05 p.m. instead of the original Sunday and evening times.
- The status of Saturday’s game remains uncertain, with possibilities including relocation to a neutral site or Wrigley Field due to expected heavy rain and wind in New England.
- Red Sox manager Chad Tracy acknowledged logistical challenges and disruptions but emphasized the importance of playing the games, especially with the postseason starting soon.
- The Cubs are involved in a tight playoff race, and depending on Friday’s outcomes, the final game might not affect standings and could potentially be canceled.
- The Red Sox are still finalizing pitching plans for the weekend, considering their scheduled starters for the wild card round and the adjustments required by the doubleheader.
