TORONTO -- Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora rejoined the team in Toronto on Wednesday after missing the past six games because of COVID-19.
The Red Sox have gone 1-5 under bench coach Will Venable since Cora tested positive before last Thursday's home loss to Toronto. Boston is 7-11 overall.
Cora said he was glad he caught the infection before the Red Sox flew to Florida last Thursday night for a weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"I didn't want to be the guy that hopped on a plane feeling bad and putting the whole team in a bad spot," Cora said.
