Detroit – This ishow fragile all this is.
Matthew Boyd, likely the Tigers Opening Day starter next Friday in Cincinnati, had to miss his scheduled pitching day on Tuesday because he came in contact with someone who was asymptomatic but had tested positive for the coronavirus.
"Luckily everything turned out OK, but that's kind of where we are at in this country and in this world," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We just have to deal with it the best we can. They went through the process and he's OK."
Boyd, who is asthmatic and at a higher risk for the virus, was home Monday night while a friend from the neighborhood, a high school senior, injured himself while mowing Boyd's lawn.
