TORONTO -- The Boston Red Sox put right-handers Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford on the restricted list before Monday night's game in Toronto, the opener of a four-game series north of the border.
To enter Canada, the Canadian government requires a person must have received a second vaccine dose -- or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine -- at least 14 days before entry.
Houck had previously acknowledged being unvaccinated.
Players who go on the restricted list because they are unvaccinated against COVID-19 do not get paid and do not accrue major league service time.
