Friday Bird Droppings: Where it’s Orioles workout time

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

MLB players have reported to summer camp. The season has not yet been shut down again. Regular season baseball is still on track to return by the end of this month.

Whether that will still be the case by the end of the month, who knows? Yesterday, the Philadelphia Phillies set a nerve-wracking precedent by quietly placing four players — including former O’s reliever Tommy Hunter — on the injured list with undisclosed injuries, which has led to speculation that they tested positive for COVID-19. As part of MLB’s health and safety protocols this year, players can be placed on a COVID-19 injury list, but teams are not allowed to announce which players are going on the list because of health safety laws.
