MLB shifts six 2025 Rays games to avoid weather issues

SPORTS 25.11.2024

The Tampa Bay Rays have had six of their 2025 regular-season games shifted to the early season due to weather issues from playing outside, Major League Baseball announced Monday.

Text size:

The Rays' usual home, domed Tropicana Field, was damaged by Hurricane Milton last month with almost all of its roof shredded and no possibility of playing there next year.

As a result, the Rays moved their 2025 home games from St. Petersburg to the New York Yankees training complex at nearby Tampa, which has an 11,000-seat outdoor stadium.

An April series scheduled against the Los Angeles Angels that had been set for California will instead be played April 8-10 in Florida.

A series between the two which had been set for August in Florida will now be hosted by the Angels on August 4-6.

A Rays series against the Minnesota Twins planned in Minneapolis from May 26-28 will instead be played on the same dates in Tampa while a series that had been set for Tampa on July 4-6 will now be played in Minnesota.

Florida summers can bring extreme heat and rain.
