Before Monday’s Patriots’ Day game at 11:30 a.m., the Red Sox were reportedly in the midst of a COVID-protocol problem according to reporters at Fenway Park.
The Boston Globe‘s Pete Abraham and Julian McWilliams reported team staffers were notably masked, which is no longer required at the park, and that MLB officials had entered the Sox’ clubhouse after the morning’s interviews had concluded.
The source of that disturbance has apparently been identified: backup catcher Kevin Plawecki and two team staffers have reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 and have left the team for the time being.
