After winter weather blindsided the Boston area Friday, the Red Sox and Chicago White Sox will plan to play their four-game series over the course of three days beginning Saturday evening.

Friday's series opener was postponed five hours prior to first pitch due to a mix of snow and rain that was expected to continue throughout the night. The teams will now play a split doubleheader Sunday, with the second contest set for 5:10 p.m. ET following their originally scheduled matchup at 1:10 p.m. ET. Both games will be reduced to seven innings of regulation.

The series between the clubs had already featured a scheduling oddity in the form of Monday's 11:10 a.m. ET first pitch -- a Patriots Day tradition in Boston usually designed to accommodate the city's marathon that day. Despite the 2021 Boston Marathon being delayed until Oct. 11 due to COVID-19, the Red Sox kept the morning matchup in place.
