Glad he is working his way back.

I thought part of the COVID protocols was that all rehabs would be at AAA, so there wouldn't be a delay when the player would be called up.

He will need to undergo COVID intake which would cause a delay of a day or two to be called up directly to the Orioles from Bowie, so it is possible he rehabs at Norfolk as well.

According to a Nats' beat writer on MASN, that was the case.  

I wonder if anything has changed since the O's Tier1/Tier2 employees hit the magical 85% barrier t he other day?

This is definitely some good news.

Tides are away in Charlotte this week while Bowie is home. I imagine that rehabbing players will play with the closest home team.

I would think that the delay of having to go through COVID protocols once upon joining the Baysox and then again upon rejoining the Orioles should supersede any potential discomfort of having to go on a AAA road trip and only go through protocols once.

But I guess the Orioles don't really care if Santander takes an extra day to return.

I guess I don't understand the difference in COVID protocols between going to Bowie or Norfolk. Why would he not have less protocols if he travels (by Air) to Charlotte vs driving to Bowie for games?

This is from MLB. I don't see anything about designating AAA as the rehab.

Your link is from February.

When the AAA season started, MLB announced that AAA would be held to the same testing standards as MLB, so players could be called up directly from AAA to MLB without additional delay, as they were from the alternate training site. The testing standards are evidently less stringent at the lower leagues, so there will be a delay in moving players up from AA to the Majors (or presumably from AA to AAA). I don't have a link in front of me, but it was definitely announced.

According to an article I posted a week or so ago by the Nats' MASN beat writer, personnel at MLB and AAA are following the same Covid protocols.

That beat writer basically said that players could be promoted from AAA to MLB, or vice versa, have one quick immediate Covid test, and join the team.   Players going from lower levels of the minors to AAA or the majors would have to undergo some sort of quarantine period or something.

He implied that meant that players could only be called directly to the majors from AAA, and that ML players rehabbing could only go to AAA to do so.   Clearly that isn't true if Santander is rehabbing in Bowie.
