NEW YORK -- Additional details have emerged about the 2009 schedule.

The Red Sox will face N.L. East teams as interleague opponents. The New York Mets and Florida Marlins will visit Fenway, while the Sox will travel to Philadelphia and Washington.

As part of the rotating format, the Sox will also have a home-and-home arrangement with the Braves, with the Sox visiting Atlanta and also hosting the Braves in Boston.

The first meeting with the Yankees will be in Boston, with the Sox visiting the new Yankee Stadium for the first time in May.

The Sox will open the regular season at home for just the second time in the last 12 seasons, hosting Tampa Bay.
