NEW YORK — The Yankees and Red Sox will have to wait an extra day to renew their pleasantries.
A rainy weather forecast caused the Yankees to officially announce that their opening-day game against Boston has been pushed to Friday. Originally scheduled for Thursday, the rescheduling means that the teams will lose the off day that was supposed to be on Friday. Weather permitting, they will now play three straight games from Friday to Sunday.
The rescheduled game will be played at 1:05 p.m. on Friday at Yankee Stadium, with fans who had a ticket for Thursday still being able to use them for entrance on Friday. They may also exchange them for a similar regular-season game through the Yankees’ rain check policy. Gates will open at 11:00 a.m. with traditional opening-day ceremonies beginning at approximately 12:30 p.m.
