Red Sox may be late for their game at Mets. Scheduled start: 7:15 Via @JonHeyman on X

What happened: The Red Sox may not arrive on time for their scheduled 7:15 game against the Mets, per Jon Heyman. The club was still in Chicago after wrapping its series against the White Sox, according to reports on the travel delay.

Why it matters: A late arrival threatens the scheduled first pitch and pregame routine for both clubs. Boston enters on a six-game winning streak, while New York has won two straight; any shortened warmup window carries different stakes for a team trying to protect momentum.

By the numbers: Boston is 43-48 this season and has won five of its last five, riding a six-game win streak while scoring 4.1 runs and allowing 3.9 per game. New York is 40-54 with a 4-1 mark in its last five and a two-game win streak, scoring 4.2 and allowing 4.8 per game.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of the actual first-pitch time as the Red Sox make their way from Chicago to Citi Field.
