That was my first thought about Arroyo as well. If he hasn't tested positive, the "extended period" implies non-vax.Wonderful timing.
Out for an extended period of time suggests non-vaxxed, no? Or at least for Arroyo as a close contact who hasn't necessarily (yet?) tested positive. Hernandez reportedly is experiencing symptoms, so extended period makes sense there. Would think a vaxxed person who tests negative a couple times would be right back on the active roster despite the close contact.
Guess for those who've been asking for a few weeks where is Yairo Munoz, your wish has come true. He's one of the players being called up, and per Ian Browne, will be leading off tonight (if he arrives in time).
I think Pete Abe said Arauz.Shaw plays second or Downs is promoted, or who else plays 2B?
Munoz and Arauz are their replacements. Pretty sure both can play 2B.Shaw plays second or Downs is promoted, or who else plays 2B?
Get him the Mirabelli police escort!Wonderful timing.

This would have been an ideal opportunity to take a first-hand look at Ryan Fitzgerald before having to make a decision about whether to add him to the 40-man roster this winter. Hopefully Fitzgerald is at least promoted to Worcester to backfill the vacancies there.Guess for those who've been asking for a few weeks where is Yairo Munoz, your wish has come true.

Can we ask what is meant by extended period of time? A week or two? Or are they out for the year? Any physicians want to weigh in? Hopefully this doesn't violate the standards of this board.A quick warning for all that any conversation/speculation about athletes regarding vaccination status needs to happen in the V&N thread created for that purpose. Discussion of roster implications, etc. is fine, but beyond that, there is no wiggle room on this policy.
Players on the COVID IL do not count against the 40-man roster.Who comes off the 40 man to make room for Munoz? I did not think Munoz was on the 40 man roster.
They do, but COVID replacements can be sent (effectively outrighted) to the Minor Leagues without having to pass through waivers.I was under the impression that call ups due to covid-IL did not need to be placed on the 40-man.
I assume "extended period" just means it won't be just a day or two like it was for JD (twice!) or Duran or Barnes or anyone else who's been placed on the COVID IL out of an abundance of caution but tested negative.Can we ask what is meant by extended period of time?

View: https://twitter.com/PeteAbe/status/1431362216603930630Well Rizzo had it recently, and missed, what 10 days?
He doesn't have to. As has been posted, players can be added to the 40-man in place of players on the COVID IL. And can also be removed without a DFA or passing through waivers. Munoz is on his way to Cleveland right now.Munoz wold be a great option if he was on the 40 man roster. Maybe Chaim can do something creative to find room.
He wasn't hitting before that either.Has anyone discussed how poorly Rizzo has played since returning from Covid?
She must be vaccinated too, and newborns aren't susceptible I think? They should be OK.And he and his wife with a newborn. I hope his family is OK.
If she was vaccinated prior to birth I believe the baby would inherit her antibodiesShe must be vaccinated too, and newborns aren't susceptible I think? They should be OK.
They have been running with a three man bench. If they drop to two I am going to start throwing things. But not likely across the plate.Wonder if the Sox will also try to add a reliever not on the 40 man? Kaleb Ort?
Expert postgame analysis: one of the substitutes did okay.The Yankees streak began when they lost tons of regulars due to COVID plus injuries. They sucked it up with replacements and let’s see what our guys do.
Fuck, they may as well given Cora's stoked to have good ol' Vazski out there every night.They have been running with a three man bench. If they drop to two I am going to start throwing things. But not likely across the plate.
That's incorrect. Children under one are at more risk to severe illness due to covid than older children. It is believed that this is due to the fact that infant immune systems are less developed. This is the same reason that the flu is particularly bad for infants.She must be vaccinated too, and newborns aren't susceptible I think? They should be OK.
COVID-survivor here. In regards to children under one year of age, I have also heard they are impacted by a less well-developed immune system. I hope you are correct about in utero vaccine effects.That's incorrect. Children under one are at more risk to severe illness due to covid than older children.

As NickEsasky mentioned, the baby may have some resistance being in utero when mom was vaccinated.
