BOSTON -- Don Orsillo will return to Fenway Park on Saturday and Sunday to call games here for the first time since his last home game as NESN Red Sox play-by-play announcer (Sept. 27, 2015).

He will announce the Red Sox and Yankees game for FOX. First pitch is at 1:05 p.m. He'll work alongside color analysts A.J. Pierzynski and David Cone.

He'll work Sunday's game for TBS with Ron Darling.

Orsillo, who now serves as the San Diego Padres play-by-play man, has established a strong rapport with color analyst Mark Grant.

"Looking forward to seeing many friends," Orsillo tweeted.

The Red Sox and NESN fired Orsillo and committed to Dave O'Brien. Red Sox fans didn't take his dismissal well.

More than 63,000 Red Sox fans signed a petition on the website change.org urging principal owner John Henry to bring back Orsillo.
