- More than a dozen Marlins have tested positive for Covid-19
- Commissioner Manfred confident season is still on track
Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred has denied the season is in trouble even though more than a dozen Marlins players and staff have tested positive for the coronavirus, prompting the club to lock down in Philadelphia.
The league temporarily suspended the Marlins’ season through Sunday because of their worsening coronavirus outbreak, and the three remaining games in this week’s New York Yankees-Philadelphia Phillies series were postponed on Tuesday. The Phillies were the last team to play the Marlins.
