Marathon Monday and the annual Patriots Day game day has not gotten off to the start the Red Sox were hoping for, with some bad news on their roster as their backup catcher is heading to the COVID list. After media members left the clubhouse on Monday morning, MLB personnel entered and we learned that there were some COVID issues for the team. Shortly after that, Kevin Plawecki left the park in street clothes, and it has since been confirmed that the catcher has indeed tested positive for COVID and will be placed on the inactive list.
