Steven Matz placed on COVID-related IL by Toronto Blue Jays

BOSTON -- Steven Matz was placed on the COVID-related injured list by the Toronto Blue Jays before Sunday's game against Boston, one day after the left-hander beat the Red Sox.

Matz (7-3) allowed one run and four hits in 5â…” innings Saturday.

"He's still going through additional testing,'' manager Charlie Montoyo said. "The guys that were around him that are vaccinated came back negative, and that's good news.''

Right-hander Jeremy Beasley was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, a day after he was optioned.
