When the Red Sox begin an important four-game series against the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 25 (one week from today), they will be without multiple players, according to manager Alex Cora.
One of those missing players will be pitcher Tanner Houck, who told the Globe on Sunday that he will not accompany the team across the border because he is not vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. Houck was expected to start the second game of the series.
Houck did not give a reason for being unvaccinated beyond the nonsensical "it's a personal choice".
