The Tampa Bay Rays have shifted the first pitch of their game against the Chicago White Sox to 7:05 PM ET due to expected severe weather in the area later in the evening. Heavy thunderstorms are predicted, prompting changes in their schedule. Following damage to Tropicana Field from Hurricane Milton last October, the Rays are using George M. Steinbrenner Field as their temporary venue. The team has faced multiple weather-related interruptions, experiencing a lengthy rain delay over the weekend, and significant travel to manage the remaining schedule.
Due to anticipated severe weather late tonight, this evening's first pitch has been moved up to 7:05 pm, with heavy thunderstorms expected in the Tampa Bay area.
The Tampa Bay Rays adjust their schedule regularly due to Florida's summertime storms, now playing at George M. Steinbrenner Field after Hurricane Milton damaged Tropicana Field.
After suffering a rain delay of over two hours against the Baltimore Orioles, the Rays have faced 11 rain delays this season, eight occurring at home.
With 19 games left in the season, the Rays are on a long road trip schedule to mitigate weather-related interruptions, seeking to recover from a prior loss to the White Sox.
