FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox have not quarantined minor league pitcher Chih-Jung Liu for fear of the coronavirus, the team’s vice president of media relations Kevin Gregg said Wednesday.
Erroneous reports Wednesday stated that the team had quarantined the 20-year-old Taiwanese right-hander after he had arrived in Fort Myers from his Asian homeland last week.
“He was never quarantined,” Gregg said. “He’s not sick, has never been sick. No one is at risk.”
Gregg explained that the team asked him to delay reporting to spring training at JetBlue Park until Saturday …
Red Sox infielder Tzu-Wei Lin, who also is from Taiwan, spent a day away from the team before returning to normal practices.
And before that, the Sox kept pitcher Chris Sale from reporting to camp because of pneumonia. He stayed at his home in Naples and worked out there.

Yeah, those one-day quarantines are sure to do the trick!
