Update: First pitch is now scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
NEW YORK — The Red Sox and Yankees game Friday here at Yankee Stadium will not start on time.
First pitch was scheduled for 7:05 p.m. But the tarp is on the field and the game will be delayed due to rain, the Yankees announced.
This article will be updated when a new start time is decided.
This is the first meeting between the two AL East rivals this season. Boston enters 30-34. The Yankees are 38-23.
Red Sox righty Walker Buehler (4-3, 4.44 ERA) is scheduled to start opposite Yankees righty Will Warren (3-3, 5.19 ERA).
Struggling rookie Kristian Campbell is not in the Red Sox lineup. David Hamilton will play second base instead.
Manager Alex Cora said Campbell will be in the lineup Saturday and Sunday.
Catcher Carlos Narváez — who the Red Sox acquired in December from New York— will be the cleanup hitter.
During his pregame media availability, Cora said starter Kutter Crawford’s sore wrist has no structural damage. He also gave a positive update on Alex Bregman (right quad strain) who began his running progression Thursday.
