4 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (COVID-19) has been reinstated to the team on Tuesday, while reliever Trevor Richards was optioned to the club's alternate site in his place. Meadows tested positive for COVID-19 near the end of summer camp and worked with the taxi squad for the last couple of weeks to get into game shape. The 25-year-old had an outstanding 2019 season, where he clubbed 33 homers and 89 RBI to a crisp .291 batting average. We can expect Meadows to return to his customary leadoff spot in the lineup versus right-handers where he'll look to continue building off an All-Star season.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
