‘Couple’ Mariners to miss Jays series over vaccine
NEW YORK — Seattle Mariners supervisor Scott Servais stated “a pair gamers” will not make the journey for the three-game sequence that begins Monday at Toronto due to the Canadian authorities’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Talking earlier than Sunday’s sequence finale on the New York Mets, Servais didn’t determine which gamers might be unavailable.
Canada requires anybody coming into the nation to have acquired two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, the second not less than 14 days earlier than entry.
Left-hander Roenis Elías, 33, was within the clubhouse at Citi Area on Sunday, and Servais stated he seemingly might be added to the lively roster by Monday. Elias has a 4.30 ERA in a single begin and 10 aid appearances at Tacoma of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, placing out 11 and strolling 4 in 14⅔ innings.
Elias final appeared within the main leagues with Washington in 2019.
