Red Sox adjust schedule for final series against Cubs due to weather

The Boston Red Sox will end the regular season a day early, altering their final series schedule against the Chicago Cubs. The Red Sox announced a split doubleheader on Friday with the first game starting at 1:05 p.m. and the second at 6:05 p.m. This change comes in response to potential storms forecasted in Boston. While the Red Sox are locked into the No. 5 seed in the American League, the Cubs are vying for a Wild Card spot in the National League, making these games critical for their postseason aspirations. This schedule change also allows the Red Sox an extra day of rest before the Wild Card Series.
