Jansen will now must miss seven days as a result of his COVID-19 designation.
Only a day after he abruptly left a aid look as a result of fatigue and sickness signs, Crimson Sox nearer Kenley Jansen has been positioned on the COVID-19 injured record.
Alex Cora introduced the information on Wednesday forward of Boston’s rain-delayed matchup in opposition to the Yankees, with the crew making the transfer official lower than an hour later. With Jansen hitting the IL, left-handed pitcher Brandon Walter was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill Jansen’s roster spot.

The Crimson Sox’ lone 2023 All-Star consultant left Tuesday night time’s bout in opposition to the Yankees within the ninth inning, throwing simply 13 pitches within the second leg of a doubleheader slate earlier than being pulled from his outing.

This marks the second time inside three weeks the Crimson Sox have positioned a pitcher on the COVID-19 injured record. Left-hander Brennan Bernadino was positioned on the the record on Aug. 27. He returned to the crew on Sept. 3.
