Worcester Red Sox News Release


Tonight's (Thursday's) scheduled International League game between the host Worcester Red Sox and the Buffalo Bisons at Polar Park has been postponed due to continued rains throughout the evening. No make-up date for tonight's rainout has been announced.

The WooSox and Bisons (AAA-Toronto) are in the midst of a series at Polar Park that already has a single-admission make-up doubleheader on the slate for tomorrow (Friday) beginning at 4:45 pm. That doubleheader is from a July 2 rainout in Buffalo. Both games will be 7-innings with Buffalo the "home" team in Game 2. The clubs are scheduled to play single-games on Saturday at 4:05 pm and Sunday at 1:05 pm and then do not meet again this season.

Fans holding tickets for tonight (Thursday) can trade those in for any remaining WooSox home game this season - based on availability.

If fans have a hard ticket for tonight's game, that ticket can be exchanged for a similar ticket of equal or lesser value. If fans have an electronic ticket, they can make that exchange either in person at the Polar Park box office or at woosox.com. Digital tickets can be shown at the Ticket Office to be exchanged for equal or lesser value, based on availability. Fans can also call at 508-500-8888 to speak with a Ticket Office staff member to make the exchange.

This is the 5th home postponement for the WooSox this season (the others came on May 3 vs. Buffalo, May 20 vs. Lehigh Valley, June 9 vs. Rochester, and July 25 vs. Rochester). They have had seven road games postponed already this season. Worcester had only two home postponements all of last year (April 14 & April 26 of 2022) after five home postponements and one cancelled home game during their abbreviated inaugural season at Polar Park in 2021.
