The restricted list doesn't seem very common, and they need league approval to be on it. Bereavement, paternity, family emergencies, COVID all have their own lists.

The restricted list is for players taking a leave of absence from the team, and that can be paid/unpaid at the team’s discretion. Dave Martinez will speak around 2 p.m., but one thing I can clarify now is that it’s not covid-related (since it’s easy to jump there these days).
