Two big name Indians are not with the team today after manager Terry Francona confirmed Sunday the club has told them to stay away after breaking Covid-19 protocols.
The two players are third basemen Jose Ramirez and DH/OF Franmil Reyes, and the incident that has the two sitting at home took place Friday in Goodyear, Arizona.
The incident happened when Reyes went to get a haircut on Friday, and met with Ramírez at an indoor restaurant the same day, becoming in contact with the player who was third overall in the AL MVP voting last season.
Francona said that the pair have had another test, and that the league has been notified about the incident with the hopes the two will be back with the team sooner than later.
