3 years agoBoston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes was reinstated from the COVID list prior to Friday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He pitched the eighth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters in a scoreless inning. Barnes was removed from the closer role before testing positive for COVID, so fantasy managers should not expect him to receive save changes right away. He does not need to be held on rosters for the time being, but with the bullpen roles in flux, Barnes is worth keeping an eye on as he was extremely effective for the first half of the year.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
