TORONTO -- The Boston Red Sox put right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort on the restricted list Friday and recalled outfielder Jarren Duran from Triple-A Worcester.
A Canadian requirement that prevents foreign nationals who aren't vaccinated against COVID-19 from entering the country expires Saturday, the first day of October.
Throughout the season to date, unvaccinated baseball players have been placed on the restricted list, where they are not paid and do not accrue major league service time.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Ort would join the Red Sox in Toronto on Saturday, but didn't know what the corresponding roster move would be.
