The two St. Louis Cardinals stars are one of those who do not travel to Toronto to become infected with the Blue Jays because they have not been vaccinated with COVID-19.
Cardinals announced on Sunday that Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Austin Romine will miss a short series due to vaccination status. The two teams will play on Tuesday and Wednesday.
All three players will be placed on the restricted list and will lose payments and major league service hours under the league’s collective bargaining rules. Arenado misses $ 384,416, Goldschmidt gives up $ 241,758, and Lomin gives up $ 10,989.
