The White Sox announced Sunday that two players tested positive for COVID-19 during the team's testing of players, staff and front-office members.
The two players were not named, and both requested privacy, meaning the White Sox are not able to comment further.
Both players were asymptomatic, according to the team, and they have been isolated in Chicago under monitoring by White Sox medical staff. The team added that contact tracing was conducted and that the players will receive follow-up testing in the coming days. According to Major League Baseball's health and safety protocol, the two players will need to test negative twice and pass other appropriate protocols before returning to work.
