Just two days after getting placed on the COVID-related injured list due to being a close contact, Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo has tested positive for the virus.
Arroyo’s been quarantining in Cleveland since he was deemed a close contact to Kiké Hernández, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. Red Sox strength and conditioning coach Kiyoshi Momose also tested positive for COVID-19.
“Now we’re in the process of contact tracing and let’s see where it takes us,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Sunday.
While the Red Sox have already set up their lineup for Sunday’s afternoon game against the Indians, Cora isn’t sure if all the players on his roster will be available until contact tracing is completed.
