George Springer (quad) won’t join #BlueJays to start road trip, instead get ALT site ABs. No timeline.
Hernandez, who Montoyo says has mild symptoms that are improving, will partake in a 10-day quarantine and be re-evaluated from there. Hernandez had been placed on the COVID-19 list last week after coming in close contact with somebody who had tested positive.
A native of Cotui, Dominican Republica, Hernandez is in his sixth MLB season.
Through seven games, he's batting .207 with a home run and pair of runs batted in.
The Blue Jays (4-6) continue a series with the New York Yankees (5-5) on Tuesday night.
