Prior to the Red Sox' game against the Orioles Saturday night, the team placed J.D. Martinez on the COVID-related injured list.
To take his place on the roster, Michael Chavis was recalled from the alternate training site.
Speaking to reporters before the game, manager Alex Cora said Martinez was experiencing cold-like symptoms. It could just be a one-day stint on the list and the DH could return to the team Sunday.
“We’ll have more information throughout the night or tomorrow morning,” Cora said. “We feel pretty confident that he will be able to be with us tomorrow. But obviously we have to wait.”
Martinez will be able to return if he tests negative twice.
