Today, the Chicago White Sox announced that Dylan Cease and Kendall Graveman will both be heading to the restricted list ahead of the team’s trip to Toronto. This is with the assumption being that both pitchers are unvaccinated against COVID-19.
Due to Canada having a strict vaccination policy for visitors, they both will miss out on their one chance this season to visit our neighbors to the north.
What makes this interesting is that back in February, during the lockout, the team announced that all minor leaguers would be required to get the vaccine and booster(s) once eligible.
