MLB
The Boston Red Sox are grappling with COVID-19 issues days before the season opens. Boston placed eight players in contact tracing Sunday, one day after reliever Matt Barnes tested positive for COVID-19. The club did not identify the eight-except for pitcher Matt Andriese. Four players were pinpointed as close contacts and must be quarantined for seven days. The Red Sox reported there have been no more positive tests outside of Barnes. It’s bad timing for the Red Sox, who open the regular season Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park.
