NESN is rolling out full postseason coverage around the Red Sox’s Wild Card Series against the Yankees, with pregame and postgame programming wrapped around every game of the best-of-three matchup.
The series opens Tuesday, Sept. 29, with first pitch set for 8 p.m. on NBC and Peacock. NESN said it will air one hour of live pregame coverage before each telecast and one hour of live postgame analysis after each game, with its on-air crew handling lineup updates, pitching decisions, key storylines and immediate reaction once the final out is recorded.
Coverage starts even before the first pitch. NESN will begin its postseason push Monday, Sept. 28, with a special two-hour edition of 310 To Left, which will preview the series and dig into the biggest storylines heading in. The show will also continue with daily coverage, and NESN plans to air live press conferences throughout the series.
The schedule NESN announced breaks down like this:
Monday, Sept. 28: Special episode of 310 To Left presented by New England Ford Dealers from 12:30-2:30 p.m. on NESN
Tuesday, Sept. 29: Game 1 - Pregame coverage at 7 p.m. on NESN and NESN 360, Postgame coverage to follow immediately after game completion on NESN and NESN 360
Wednesday, Sept. 30: Game 2 - Pregame coverage at 7 p.m. on NESN and NESN 360, Postgame coverage to follow immediately after game completion on NESN and NESN 360
Thursday, Oct. 1 (if necessary): Game 3 - Pregame coverage at 7 p.m. on NESN and NESN 360, Postgame coverage to follow immediately after game completion on NESN and NESN 360
There’s also a scheduling wrinkle on Tuesday. Because the Red Sox are on at the same time as the Bruins’ season-opener, NESN said the Bruins pregame and postgame shows will air on NESN+, while the game itself is set for ESPN.

Red Sox Just Got Extra Motivation Before Yankees Wild Card Series
The Red Sox are heading into Yankee Stadium for a three-game wild-card series with a familiar kind of October edge, and the path ahead is simple enough: win the series, move on to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League Division Series. Even before the first pitch, though, the matchup has taken on a little extra bite thanks to how New York appears to be lining up its rotation.
Reports say the Yankees plan to start Max Fried in Game 1 and Cam Schlittler in Game 2, a setup that points to a balancing act between the wild-card round and the ALDS that could follow. For Boston, it is the kind of detail that only sharpens the stakes, because any hint that the opponent is thinking beyond the immediate series can be taken as added fuel in a setting where every pitch tends to matter a little more.

Former Red Sox Coach Just Created An Awkward Rays Subplot
Pete Fatses next stop has taken an awkward turn for Red Sox fans watching the division. A few months after Boston let go of its former hitting coach, the Rays brought him in as a hitting consultant, adding a familiar name to a rival staff at a moment when both clubs are trying to sharpen their offensive identities. Fatses connection to New England runs deep, and his time with the Red Sox began in 2019, so the move carries more than the usual layer of East Division familiarity.
Tampa Bay made no effort to hide its interest in what Fatse might bring. Rays executive Erik Neander publicly praised his passion and the potential he has to help the club, a notable show of confidence for someone who was just recently on the other side of one of baseballs sharper internal decisions. For Boston, it is the kind of subplot that lingers because it ties a former staffer directly to a rival and leaves open the inevitable question of what the Rays think they can unlock next.

Red Sox Face One Big Roster Call Before Yankees Series
With one regular season game left before they open a wild-card series against the Yankees, the Red Sox are down to the kind of roster decisions that can shape a short October. Romy Gonzalez has put himself back in the conversation with strong recent work in Triple-A, and his profile is at least intriguing enough to merit a look as Boston starts sorting out the final pieces of its playoff group.
Gonzalez also brings a matchup angle that matters in a series this tight, since he has had success against likely Game 1 starter Max Fried. That is the sort of offensive upside Boston could use on a bench built for opportunistic swings, which is why his candidacy comes up now as the Red Sox weigh whether he deserves a spot over Andruw Monasterio.
