Mets' Baez, Lindor Apologize; Cubs Beat Twins

Baez, who explained what the gesture meant on Sunday, faced boos and fans doing the thumbs-down gesture when he came into the first game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning. But he got back in their good graces as he ran from first to home on a single for the winning run in the 6-5 game.

Bogaerts Tests Positive For Covid-19

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was pulled from Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays after testing positive for Covid-19, coming out before the bottom of the second inning after hitting an RBI single in the first.

He’s the latest in Boston’s outbreak. It was announced before the game that reliever Hirokazu Sawamura tested positive, and reliever Josh Taylor was put on the Covid list as a close contact. Four other players were put on the list since Friday.
