So, when the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds started play on Wednesday night, Nats’ reliever Tanner Rainey was not on the lineup card, since he was still on the COVID-IL, though he’d been cleared to play. Rainey landed on the list after he was identified, through contact tracing, as having been in close proximity to Erick Fedde, who tested positive and landed in quarantine (and on the IL as well, obviously).
Rainey was, however, reinstated before they resumed play in the suspended game Thursday afternoon, after rain shut things down in the middle of the fourth on Wednesday.
