Cincinnati Reds in rain delay before Chicago White Sox series
The Cincinnati Reds are picking up at Great American Ball Park right where they left off as far as weather is concerned.
The Reds announced around 5:50 p.m. May 13 that the scheduled 6:40 p.m. game against the Chicago White Sox was in a delay due to forecasted rain and storms.

The Reds are expected to provide an update on the status of the game around 6:30 p.m.
Reds legend and MLB "Hit King" Pete Rose was removed from the league's list of permanently banned players alongside "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, his White Sox teammates from the 1919 World Series and seven other players.
Tuesday was scheduled to mark the Reds' first game at Great American Ball Park since their last homestand, which featured a rain-out and more than four hours worth of rain delays. The last four games of the homestand were delayed by weather for some amount of time.
Even with the rain delay, there was no shortage of buzz around the ball park Tuesday with the pregame announcement from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred that late, great Reds' "Hit King" Pete Rose would be removed from the permanently ineligible list.

That decision figures to put Rose on track for eventual induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Enquirer will update this report.
Fans make their ways into the stadium as a rain delay is announced before the first inning of the MLB National League game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals at Great American Ball Park in downtown Cincinnati on Friday, May 2, 2025.

Yankees Announce Anthony Volpe Update After Scary Hit-By-Pitch vs. Red Sox
Yankees Announce Anthony Volpe Update After Scary Hit-By-Pitch vs. Red Sox originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees are currently teeing off on the Boston Red Sox in the first game of a three-game set in the Bronx Friday, with three hits from Aaron Judge and a three-run home run by Jazz Chisholm Jr propelling the Bombers to a 8-1 start. Advertisement Shortstop Anthony Volpe was among the batters to have a standout moment, with his two-run home run in the first giving the Yankees a 5-0 lead off of former Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler. Volpe was promptly hit on the elbow by a pitch from Buehler in the second inning, and exited as a 'precautionary' measure. At time of writing, a new update has come in on Volpe from the Yankees. New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone (17) and shortstop Anthony Volpe (11)© Brad Penner-Imagn Images The former Yankees top prospect left with an elbow contusion, according to Bryan Hoch, and the team is in the process of conducting X-rays and CT scans to determine the nature and severity of the injury. While Volpe was examined by head trainer Tim Lentych, manager Aaron Boone walked out of the huddle in a move that didn't strike too much concern, though the Yankees clearly didn't want Volpe to suffer a further injury. Advertisement Volpe's home run in the first inning was just his third home run since May 12th, and his offense has improved notably. His 20.7% chase rate is in the 90th percentile in baseball, and his .300 batting average and .786 OPS with the bases loaded have been massive for the Yankees in the midst of their pennant chase.

Red Sox Make Surprising Marcelo Mayer Announcement Before Yankees Game
Red Sox Make Surprising Marcelo Mayer Announcement Before Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees took the first game of a three-game set on Friday against the Boston Red Sox in what was the first of 13 games against their fierce rivals. Advertisement In the Bronx, rookie Will Warren delivered a solid performance, though two of his four runs in 5 1/3 innings came off of Brent Headrick after Warren's exit. Trailing 7-0, the Red Sox opened the scoring off of Warren in the fifth inning in emphatic fashion, with former No. 2 prospect Marcelo Mayer connecting on his first career home run off of Warren. Boston Red Sox shortstop Marcelo Mayer (39), right, and Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (10) prepare for a hit against the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh inning at American Family McLoone-Imagn Images After Mayer's home run, the Red Sox made a surprising announcement, leaving Mayer out of Saturday's lineup. Mayer's home run was his first in 34 professional at-bats, and he's slashing .167/.167/.167/.333 against lefties, so manager Alex Cora clearly didn't like the optics of the youngster facing lefty Ryan Yarbrough, who has been surprisingly sharp for the Yankees. Advertisement Mayer did get his home run ball back, as a group of young fans traded his prized artifact for a few autographs and photos after the game. The blast cut the Red Sox' deficit to 7-1, and despite a fierce comeback, the Sox fell to their rivals 9-6, with Devin Williams getting a much-needed stress-free save in the win. The Sox are continuing to face a decision on top prospect Roman Anthony, and chief executive Craig Breslow is in Worcester to watch Anthony play for the WooSox tonight. Mayer hasn't necessarily started his MLB career in strong fashion, but much time is left for him to turn it around.
