it's unclear how long it takes a guy to clear intake, and it's my understanding that only players that are part of the taxi squad are eligible for activation on road trips. the brewers continue to be secretive about their taxi squad rosters, and i'm convinced that they bargained with the beat writers to refrain from reporting sightings. having said that, the brewers do not have any infielders on optional assignment on their 40-man roster. if they're carrying an infielder on their taxi squad (why wouldn't they?), it's gotta be a non-roster player such as jace peterson or pablo reyes. peterson is out of options, reyes is not. unless mlb is allowing exceptions provided the club has hit the 85% vaccination rate, which eases protocols? if they haven't, maybe this roster management conundrum will make some rethink their stance on refusing to be vaccinated.
