GDT 10/12/21: Braves vs Brewers - NLDS Game 4

That hurts, notwithstanding his stats this series, actually feel like he has looked really good, recall two balls that juuuuust missed getting out, another 400 ft foul ball, thought today he was primed to be in launch mode. Hurts big time.
 
Lots of questions that I don't really know the answer to and hoping someone else does....
1) How long does a player who tests positive have to be out? Is it like the NFL where it differs for vaccinated vs. unvaccinated?
2) Hopefully this doesn't work like a normal injury where if he's removed from the roster he can't return in the next series? It would be crushing to lose him for the NLCS as well.
3) What is the protocol for other vaccinated players who are close contacts?
 
I would hope they test again to make sure it was not a false positive. If he is asymptomatic and vaccinated, it could be a bad test. if that is the case, then he should not be out the required 10 days.
 
Ugh, Soler's a huge loss, he was crushing the ball even if they werent finding holes (NH).
 
Nevermind. Sounds like he's out ten days from positive test. So he misses at least games 1-5 of the NLCS.

Nevermind again. DOB says five days and then has to be cleared by a 'panel' including someone from MLB, someone from MLBPA, two physicians + negative tests. So if he is and stays asymptomatic and starts testing negative or is deemed not contagious, he could return for the NLCS if we make it.
 
The blows just keep coming. Can't believe it

Acuna, Soroka, Ozuna, Soler... brutal.

DOB says 5 days, so if we can close them out today. He'd miss maybe one game of the NLCS if SF/LA goes 5. Or be ready by then.
