DETROIT – Quarantined for three days, right fielder Mookie Betts finally returned to the Red Sox clubhouse on Saturday, and he’s expected back in the lineup on Sunday.
It seems he’s finally gotten over the flu. Now, if only the same could be said for the rest of the Red Sox roster.
The latest to fall victim was reliever Joe Kelly, who was sent away from Comerica Park before Saturday’s game. A few hours later, left fielder Andrew Benintendi threw up in the middle of the game, but the Red Sox were crossing their fingers.
“We're hopeful that was just a one-time deal,” manager John Farrell said.
