Rays first six games of the 2022 season officially rescheduled

During the lockout MLB cancelled the first six games of the season, initially dropping six AL East games, all on the road. Now those games have returned to the schedule, with three Blue Jays games sprinkled throughout the season, and three Red Sox games at Fenway Park to close the 2022 season.

Rescheduled Blue Jays Games

Saturday, July 2 at Rogers Centre ­– Split Doubleheader

With these changes, the Rays will now play Toronto nine times between Sept. 12 - 25, with the Rays losing a travel day back to St. Petersburg on Sept. 15.
