player to hit the injured list, while outfielder Jonathan Davis and right-hander Hector Perez rejoined the club without being activated from the IL.
There is no minimum or maximum amount of time for a placement, and anyone put on the list does not count against a team’s 60-man player pool or 40-man roster, according to MLB’s 2020 operations manual. Additionally, barring an infection, the only ways for a team to remove a player from the 60-man player pool is via trade, waiver claim, release, outright assignment, placement on the 60-day injured list, or placement on the suspended list.
In adding No. 5 pick Austin Martin this week, the Blue Jays pushed their player pool total up to 59. If Font was indeed added to the COVID-19 IL, they’re back down to 58, which creates the space needed for Davis and Perez to be activated, although that doesn’t have to be done immediately. There are protections for an alternative training site, as well. If three or more players there are infected at one time, Major League Baseball “reserves the right to allow” the affected team to substitute those players “without requiring a release,” according to the operations manual.
