Braves head to New York without top two catchers as both show COVID-19 symptoms
The Monroe Tornadoes will host the MLK Day basketball showcase Monday in Albany. Games begin at 1 p.m. and the final game is scheduled for 7 p.m. when the No.6-ranked Tornadoes (11-2) will take on the No. 4-ranked Calhoun County Cougars (11-3).
From Staff Reports
The Atlanta Braves are without their two primary catchers for Friday’s season opener at the New York Mets.
Both Travis d’Arnaud and Tyler Flowers did not make the trip after both showed symptoms of COVID-19. Both players tested negative for the coronavirus, Braves manager Brian Snitker said Friday.
He hopes both players, who are being held out as a precaution, just have “a bad cold.”
Alex Jackson and William Contreras are the next two catchers up for the Braves.
