A’s roster moves: Sam Moll activated from COVID list

The Oakland A’s latest use of the COVID-19 related injured list proved to be a short one.

The A’s activated reliever Sam Moll from the COVID list on Thursday, the team announced.

The left-hander last pitched on Sunday, then was placed on the IL on Tuesday. From that point it apparently only took two days for him to clear health protocols and rejoin the team.

Players can be put on the COVID list for a variety of reasons, including a positive test, or just showing symptoms, or close contact with somebody who’s sick.
