Tuesday’s coronavirus-related updates from around the majors:
- Twins outfielders Max Kepler and Kyle Garlick have cleared Major League Baseball’s COVID-19 protocols and could return by the end of the week, manager Rocco Baldelli announced (via Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press). Both Kepler and Garlick tested positive for COVID, leading the Twins to place them on the injured list last Tuesday. Neither player has appeared in a game since April 16. Before going on the shelf, Kepler began a disappointing .234/.315/.362 with no home runs in 54 plate appearances. Garlick has also gone without a homer, but he has still hit a passable .280/.321/.400 over 28 PA.

I wonder how many players have been vaccinated.

The league said today that 70% of players and travelling personnel have been vaccinated

Mlb announced 70 percent have began vaccinations. 70 percent not done yet with both doses or the two week period after second shot. A great start though.

I cant believe people are still continuing this charade. There is no pandemic. Its the flu, pneumonia, and respiratory infections renamed as Covid. Enough is Enough
