A New York Yankees minor leaguer became the first pro baseball player to test positive for COVID-19, and MLB took steps to mitigate the virus' spread.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that sporting events be called off for the next eight weeks because of the coronavirus.The league and players association have been in discussions since Friday to address several uncertainties triggered by MLB’s decision to suspend operations. Commissioner Rob Manfred is expected to hold a conference call at noon EDT Monday to update the 30 clubs.
The development came after players on 40-man rosters were given three options Friday: Stay at their team’s spring training facility, travel to their team’s base city, or go to their offseason homes. A few teams, including the Yankees, had voted to stay together in Tampa to continue preparing for the season.
Teams are still required to keep their spring training facilities open for players on their 40-man rosters. Clubs are not required to provide normal services, such as meals, but are expected to continue giving players access to medical care and to pay daily meal allowances.Teams are not allowed to hold or organize any player activities, including group workouts or skill sessions.
Although facilities remain open to players on 40-man rosters, most minor leaguers were instructed to go home. The Dodgers sent their minor leaguers home but kept players who were rehabbing from injuries, live in places they can’t travel to or live in areas at high risk for the coronavirus in Asia and the United States.
