Red Sox's Nick Pivetta: Activated to start Sunday

Pivetta (COVID-19) was activated from the virus-related injured list ahead of Sunday's start against the White Sox, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The vaccinated Pivetta is back with the team after testing positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. The righty has struggled in each of his last three starts and faces a tough White Sox lineup today, although perhaps his being well-rested will lead to a stronger performance.
