Fantasy Impact:
Bogaerts was summoned out of Boston's game against the Rays by manager Alex Cora after initially going out to his position in the second inning. The positive test is the six active case among Red Sox players, though several staffers are also in isolation due to COVID-19 protocols. Bogaerts is slashing .298/.366/.501 with 20 homers, 70 RBI, 48 walks, and 95 strikeouts this year. You can safely take him out of your fantasy lineups for the time being.
