BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have scratched Nick Pivetta and placed the right-hander on the COVID-19 injured list. Infielder/outfielder Danny Santana was added to the list about 30 minutes before the first pitch against Cleveland. Santana is the 11th Boston player to go on the COVID-19-related injury list in the past 10 days. Pivetta was slated to start the series finale against the Indians at Fenway Park. Crawford was recalled from Triple-A Worcester. The right-hander faced the Indians in his major league debut.
