Braves manager Brian Snitker said the illness that’s affecting starting pitcher Bartolo Colon and utility man Emilio Bonifacio so far hasn’t spread to their teammates.
Colon was limited to five innings against the Blue Jays on Monday because of what he said was a head cold and stomach issues. Bonifacio left the park early and returned to the team hotel because of similar symptoms.
Colon was at the Rogers Centre on Tuesday afternoon before for the series finale. Bonifacio didn’t report to the park with the rest of the team.
“He’s contagious, I think, right now,” Snitker said before the game. “They have got to be on that medication for 24 hours so they are not contagious. He will probably show up here later in the day. He may get here and be ready to go at the end of the game.”
