It appears likely that at least some of these placements are strictly due to contact tracing, as Click said there was no health and safety reason not to play Wednesday’s game, and considering the partially vaccinated status of the Astros players — as well as Álvarez already having dealt with COVID last season — this is hopefully a case where it won’t develop into a legitimate outbreak.
