In six days, the Phillies are set to begin a quick two-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays in Canada. To cross the border, players must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 14 days prior to travel. With the exception of starting pitchers who threw within four days of the team’s trip to Canada, players who are not eligible to travel because they are not vaccinated are placed on the restricted list for the duration of the series. Those players are not paid and do not accrue service time for the time they are out.
It appears the Phillies are going to have to make some roster moves prior to the series against the Blue Jays.
