The pandemic-delayed 2020 season is being followed up by a rain-delayed start to 2021 for the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox postponed their opener against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on Thursday because of rain that was forecast to last all day. The Red Sox made the announcement at 9 a.m., about five hours before the scheduled first pitch. "The decision to postpone our first game of the season was not made lightly," Red Sox President Sam Kennedy said. Red Sox reliever Ryan Brasier (left calf strain) was also placed on the injured list.
