A Covid-19 outbreak among active Marlins players and coaches have led to the postponement of Monday’s Orioles -Marlins game in Miami, and Yankees-Phillies cash in Philadelphia. The Phillies postponement is so they can have a “test day”, and make sure everyone is healthy, after having just shared the field with the Marlins this past weekend, where Miami kicked off the season with a 5-2,1-7,11-6 series victory. All 26 other teams will continue and play just like they should be as long as they’re healthy. As for Tuesday, it’s unlikely the Yankees-Phillies series will play on if the Phillies don’t get all of their tests back in time, while as for the Marlins, they;’re unlikely to play tomorrow either with more than half of the players coming down with the virus. Miami can bring up minor league players, but they will need some time to get accommodated to the situation, ruling out. Tuesday as a possibility. As of now, the Marlins are still in Philadelphia, as well as the Yankees, while the Orioles hoping to welcome a healthy Marlins team on Wednesday, in Baltimore to play out the Camden Yards portion of the 4 game series. It is unclear when tonight’s game will be made up, with teams not even certain if they will play Tuesday.
