Yankees Honor Sabathia Early as Weather Moves Game
25 Sep
Summary
- Saturday game moved to Friday doubleheader due to inclement weather.
- Nor'easter storm expected to impact New York City through the weekend.
- CC Sabathia ceremony moved up to Friday before doubleheader opener.
The upcoming three-game series between the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles has seen a schedule change. A Saturday game was rescheduled to Friday, September 26, 2025, to be played as the first game of a single-admission doubleheader. This alteration is a direct response to the anticipated sustained inclement weather from a nor'easter.
This nor'easter is projected to bring rain and wind to the New York City area throughout the weekend, prompting the rescheduling. Discussions about a doubleheader had been ongoing due to the weather forecast, according to reports.
The series holds no playoff implications for either team, as the Orioles were eliminated from postseason contention on Thursday, September 25, 2025. The Yankees have secured the No. 1 AL Wild Card spot.
Additionally, the ceremony to honor Hall of Famer CC Sabathia with a uniform number retirement and Monument Park plaque, originally set for Saturday, has been moved up. It will now take place on Friday, September 26, 2025, prior to the first game of the doubleheader. The first game is scheduled to start at 4:05 p.m. ET, with the second game beginning no earlier than 7:05 p.m. ET.
