MLB Turning PED Lab into Coronavirus Testing Center, Will Not Sequester Players or Shut Down Following Positive Test

Wednesday brought news of MLB’s proposed safety protocols, which include guidance against signing autographs and using ride-share programs like Uber and Lyft as a means to limit unnecessary contact. Players will be strictly forbidden from spitting or high-fiving as well. The league has also nixed the possibility of pushing the postseason into December, fearing that a second wave of coronavirus could put the kibosh on the World Series if it’s played too late in the year.

MLB believes it will be able to gain access to adequate testing without taking any away from frontline healthcare workers, but daily testing will reportedly not be mandated.
