Transaction Analysis 7/18: Cards place Gallegos and Sanchez on the COVID-IL

Yesterday the Cardinals tweeted that they had placed both Giovanny Gallegos and Ricardo Sanchez on the “injury list.”

I have to admit that I don’t understand this transaction, and I don’t think anyone else does. First things first, however. You can bet that the “injured list” is the COVID-19 related injury list, even if the team hasn’t publicly announced it as that. We’ve been talking about the phantom injured list for weeks now, and every time a club has placed a player on the “injured list” without a reason, it has been due to a COVID-related issue.
