KPRC 2 Sports Director Randy McIlvoy just received breaking news in Atlanta that Astros player Jason Castro has been removed from the World Series roster due to COVID-19 protocols. This development comes just over an hour before first pitch.
Castro was replaced by Garrett Stubbs.
“At this point, Jason Castro is the only person that has been identified as part of the healthy and safety protocols,” said Astros General Manager James Click said on camera when talking to multiple reporters at Truist Park.
