ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Boston Red Sox pitchers Martín Pérez and Matt Barnes were put on the COVID-19 injured list before Monday night’s game at Tampa Bay, and the list grew after a 6-1 loss.
Manager Alex Cora said left-hander Josh Taylor was considered to be a close contact and will quarantined. First baseman coach Tom Goodwin is also considered a close contact, while coach Ramon Vazquez tested positive.
Cora said before the game that the left-handed Pérez had tested positive. The news about the right-handed Barnes came just before first pitch.
The team is going through the MLB coronavirus protocols that include contact tracing and testing.
Infielder-outfielder Kiké Hernández and infielder Christian Arroyo both tested positive last week and were placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Friday.
Pérez is 7-8 with a 4.88 ERA in 31 games this season, including 22 starts.
Barnes has allowed 10 earned runs over 6 2/3 innings in 11 appearances during August and had his ERA climb from 2.30 to 3.81.
The Red Sox recalled right-hander Phillips Valdez and purchased the contract of righty Raynel Espinal from Triple-A Worcester.
NOTES: Boston acquired minor league RHP Brad Peacock from Cleveland for cash.
