In the latest problems for Major League Baseball as it attempts to stage a season during the novel coronavirus pandemic, two Cleveland Indians pitchers entered quarantine after violating protocols, more games involving the St. Louis Cardinals were postponed, and a starting pitcher for the New York Mets opted out.
Pitcher Zach Plesac apologized after the Indians called a car service to take him home from Chicago rather than letting him fly home with his teammates after he violated team rules and safety protocols by going out Saturday night with friends.
“I realize I made a poor choice to leave the hotel, which broke protocols and could have endangered other people,” Plesac said in a statement. “I understand that in these times of uncertainty, I need to be more vigilant and responsible, and I am determined to earn my teammates’ forgiveness and get back to work.”
It is unclear whether Plesac had been tested, and he will be tested daily while being quarantined for three days. The team had yet to decide whether he would be disciplined for his decision during this compressed, 60-game season.
“We love Zach, we support him, but he screwed up,” pitcher Shane Bieber said (via ESPN). “We’re going to handle this in-house, and we’ll see where it goes from here.”
On Monday, the Indians announced that pitcher Mike Clevinger also will quarantine — causing him to miss his scheduled start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday — after the club learned that he violated safety protocols as well. According to ESPN, Clevinger accompanied Plesac on his night out.
Meanwhile, the Mets’ Marcus Stroman has opted out of the 2020 season. Stroman praised the team’s approach to safety protocols, but he said (via the Athletic) that seeing outbreaks elsewhere “makes you realize how hard it is to make sure that everything is buttoned up, 24/7, from every angle.”
