The Cleveland Indians on Sunday sent pitcher Zach Plesac home after he violated team rules and Major League Baseball’s coronavirus health protocols. Plesac, 25, was out with friends in Chicago on Saturday night following a win against the White Sox. The team sent him home in a car service so he wouldn’t be on a plane with teammates and staff in the event he contracted the coronavirus. “I realize I made a poor choice to leave the hotel, which broke protocols and could have endangered other people,” Plesac said. “At this point, we'll figure out what the appropriate next steps will be,” Indians team president Chris Antonetti said.
