COVID-19 symptoms land Texas Rangers reliever Dennis Santana on injured list

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers reliever Dennis Santana was placed on the COVID-19 injured list after he arrived at the ballpark with symptoms before Thursday night's game, and tested to determine if he was positive.

General manager Chris Young said the team was conferring with Major League Baseball about protocols and to determine any necessary contact tracing. Young didn't say what symptoms Santana had.

"We're in contact with the league, and going to continue to follow [protocol]. It's changed a little bit from last year," Young said. "But we'll follow MLB's guidance on that, and do everything as required to make sure we're protecting everyone.
