There have been three changes to the start times of upcoming Red Sox games, including two that were announced Friday.

The Saturday, Sept. 17 game at home against Tampa Bay will now have a 4:10 p.m. start after being picked up by FOX. It was originally scheduled for 7:10 p.m.

One week later, on Sept. 24, in what could be a series that goes a long way toward determining who wins the American League East, the Sox will play a 4:10 p.m. game at Yankee Stadium. That game was under a TBA status until FOX claimed it as well.

That series in New York now features start times of 7:05 p.m., 4:10 p.m. and 1:05 p.m., making for three quick turnarounds between two teams notorious for long games.

Announced earlier in the week was a time change for the game next Wednesday, Aug. 24, in Texas. It is a 7:05 p.m. (ET) game, moved up one hour from its original time slot after being picked up outside of New England by ESPN2.

NESN will carry the Texas game within its broadcast area.
