The case of the flu has become so bad for the Boston Red Sox that the team had to fumigate the clubhouse while they were away on a recent road trip to get rid of the germs.
A team spokesman confirmed to Boston.com Tuesday that the team used foggers for the clubhouse and disinfected the common areas to prepare for an upcoming seven-game home stand.
Nine Red Sox players have dealt with the flu this season,including Boston’s top players in Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi.
