Despite A "Clear Outbreak" Of SARS-CoV-2, Marlins Played On Sunday. Now 14 Players/Coaches Have Tested Positive, Games Canceled In Miami & Philadelphia (MLB's Website Has Zero Reporting On Positive Tests)

Despite four positive tests, including three yesterday, the Miami Marlins went ahead and played the Phillies on Sunday. Today, the Marlins learned of 10 more positive tests.
40% of the Marlins' roster has tested positive.

The Marlins' home opener, scheduled for tonight against the Orioles, has been postponed. Tonight's Yankees-Phillies game in Philadelphia has also been postponed. The Orioles have returned to Baltimore, so it's likely Tuesday's games in both cities will also be postponed.

MLB's website includes a link to a statement concerning the cancellations, but nothing about the 14 positive tests.
