On Monday, Ricky Renteria “informally confirmed” that Yoán Moncada had tested positive for coronavirus and is in quarantine.
A day earlier, he defended, not wrongly, the notion that players didn’t need to be informed of the White Sox’s two positive tests — after all, they came during intake and neither player made it into Sox Park to spread any infection.
Renteria also said that identifying sick players wasn’t necessary because we “can do the math” — i.e., based on who’s not on the field, and without an identified injury (sore arm, sprained ankle), we’ll know who’s in quarantine with the unmentionable malady.
