Detroit Tigers prospect Isaac Paredes was in Mexico when he started to feel the symptoms.
A sore right arm caused him to miss games in spring training, which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and forced him to return home. And the 21-year-old's plan for the upcoming season became even more cloudy when he received his test results — positive for the novel coronavirus.
He wasn't able to join the 60-man player pool at Comerica Park for baseball's reboot until last week. He was one of five players the team placed on the 10-day injured list July 9, along with shortstop Sergio Alcantara, outfielder Daz Cameron, right-hander Alex Faedo and lefty Tarik Skubal.
