Red Sox place Matt Barnes on COVID list

Rather, the Red Sox closer was feeling under the weather and he is being placed on the list as the team awaits the return of their test results. A similar situation unfolded with J.D. Martinez early in this season, and he spent one day off the roster. In the meantime, the Red Sox do also have to fill that roster spot, and Chris Cotillo is reporting that Marwin Gonzalez is expected to be activated off the injured list to expand the bench for at least one more day.
