Ray skips Mariners trip to Toronto to face Jays

May 16, 2022 | 5:59 PM

TORONTO — Robbie Ray did not travel with the Seattle Mariners for their series in Toronto against the Blue Jays.

Instead, he was placed on Seattle’s restricted list on Monday.

A Mariners spokesperson offered no comment on if Ray is unvaccinated against COVID-19 or if it’s a scheduled rest for him.

Major League Baseball players who are not fully vaccinated against the coronavirus may be put on a restricted list when their team plays in Canada.

Border restrictions by both the Canadian and American governments force unvaccinated people to quarantine after crossing the border.
