The Red Sox added another player to the COVID-19 related injured list on Sunday.
Pitcher Nick Pivetta was placed on the injured list just hours before he was scheduled to start Sunday’s game against the Indians. Right-handed pitcher Kutter Crawford will be called up from Triple-A Worcester and will make his MLB debut on Sunday, starting in place of Pivetta.
With Pivetta getting added to the COVID-19 related IL, the Red Sox now have 10 players who are out due to COVID. Of those 10, eight of them have tested positive for COVID-19 (Xander Bogaerts, Kiké Hernández, Matt Barnes, Christian Arroyo, Hirokazu Sawamura, Martin Pérez, and Yairo Muñoz) while reliever Josh Taylor is out due to being a close contact.
