One of the game's hottest pitchers is going on the injured list, as Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes won't make his next start against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend.
Manager Craig Counsell did not specify the reason for Burnes going on the IL and said he couldn't comment on the situation when asked directly whether the Brewers ace had tested positive for COVID-19.
"Corbin is on the injured list," Counsell said Thursday afternoon. "I can't discuss it."
MLB teams are not allowed to disclose the names of any player who tests positive for the coronavirus unless the player gives his authorization.
