Two MLB Games Canceled, Multiple Players COVID+

The New York Daily News reports:

The Yankees woke up here Monday morning to the news that their game against the Phillies had been postponed because of a COVID-19 outbreak, a league source confirmed.

The Marlins had eight players and two coaches test positive during their weekend road trip hare, according to an ESPN report. The Yankees obviously expressed their concerns about going into the same clubhouse the Marlins had just used and facing the players who had just interacted with them and addressed them with MLB.

The Marlins, who had been scheduled to fly from Philadelphia to Miami on Monday morning, had their home opener with the Orioles called off. Instead, they remained here to quarantine in a local hotel.

Eight more players and two coaches with the Miami Marlins have tested positive for COVID-19, as an outbreak has spread throughout their clubhouse and brought the total of cases in recent days to at least 14, sources familiar with the situation tell me and @JesseRogersESPN.
