Fantasy Impact:

It's unclear how severe Gurriel's symptoms were, but they could have been as simple as a sore arm. Regardless, he'll be placed on the COVID list so Toronto can fill his roster spot while he recovers. Since the list has no minimum stay length, Gurriel can return as soon as he is feeling better.
