and it is a big one!!!!!!!! ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug. 9: The Indians have sent pitcher Zach Plesac home to Cleveland after discovering that Plesac violated MLB’s health and safety protocols by going out in Chicago on Saturday night, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Per Rosenthal, Plesac has been isolated from the team and will be required to quarantine for at least three days, with daily testing, before the Indians decide how to proceed.
The Indians’ action against Plesac is illustrative of MLB teams’ heightened diligence in preventing outbreaks of COVID-19 similar to those that have cost the Marlins and Cardinals considerable portions of their respective seasons. We’ve seen how quickly one case can turn into fifteen or more, as in the Marlins case, and teams would do well to operate quickly and carefully in their efforts to prevent such a spread.

1. He really screwed up - bigtime. 2. I’m thinking the 3 day suspension is insufficient per league rules? Quarantined for 10 days? They punished Reyes banishing him for several weeks. 3. Reports indicated that he was tatted out. His roommate is Clevinger. 4. Discussion appears to be sending him down.
I’m watching for him to be traded - perhaps Yankees for Clint Frazier? Lol

Update:
Clevinger apparently was with Zack oops - here’s from Cleveland.com:
that Clevinger was, in fact, with Plesac on Saturday night, yet did not self-report when Plesac was sent home Sunday. Clevinger participated in a team meeting prior to Sunday’s game where he reportedly defended Plesac. He remained with the team through a rain-delayed game in Chicago, traveling back to Cleveland on the team flight.
This is per David’s point - not good. So, MLB reported Plesac, but who reported Clevinger?br] Dan P.
