Matt Barnes Lands On COVID-19 Injured List
3 years agoBoston Red Sox closer Matt Barnes was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday. While he hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, he has been battling symptoms of a non-COVID-related illness. There's a good amount of speculation from various Red Sox beat writers that Barnes' stint on the COVID-19 injured list won't be long. Barnes has had a great year as Boston's closer, converting 23 of his 27 save opportunities. Adam Ottavino is the most likely candidate for saves while Barnes is out, though Hansel Robles, who was just acquired from the Minnesota Twins, could also be a candidate.
