John Sterling won't be taking his talents to the Boston radio waves until the later in the week.
Sterling and Red Sox radio voice Joe Castiglione of NESN were scheduled to switch booths for the fourth inning of Tuesday's game between the rivals. That has now been moved to Thursday.
The change came after rain pushed the start time of the game back from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sterling's radio partner, Suzyn Waldman, who is Jewish, was no longer able to broadcast the game because the Yom Kippur holiday began at sundown Tuesday.
WFAN Yankees beat reporter Sweeney Murti will fill in for Waldman, and he tweeted before the game that the crossover plan was pushed back to Thursday.
That has been moved to Thursday, 4th inning. https://t.co/f2gEeSlJbd

The Yom Kippur holiday ends at sundown Wednesday.
This week's series is the final series in the Bronx between the Yankees and Red Sox this regular season.
