The current on coronavirus circumstances from around baseball …

Phillies 3rd baseman Alec Bohm was gotten rid of from todays game in the eighth inning for what supervisor Joe Girardi explained only as factors related to “COVID protocols.” Officials arent required to offer detailed information about COVID-19 circumstances, and Girardi simply informed press reporters (consisting of NBC Sports Philadelphias Corey Seidman) that “well understand more as time goes on. Thats all I can give you right now.” It isnt yet understood if Bohm will be placed on the actual COVID-related injury list, and such a placement isnt necessarily a safe bet– in the event of a close contact circumstance or maybe an undetermined test result, Bohm could be cleared in time for Sundays video game with the Red Sox. Following a really excellent 2020 rookie season, Bohm has hit a sophomore slump, hitting just.243/.298/.343 with six home runs in 329 PA this year.
The righty has been a force out of the Yankees bullpen this season, publishing a 2.11 ERA, 63.9% grounder rate, an impressive 5.5% walk rate and an above-average 25.1% strikeout rate over 47 innings.
