When the Los Angeles Dodgers opened Summer Camp at the beginning of July, they did so without several players in attendance. As team workouts began, Scott Alexander, Pedro Baez, Tony Gonsolin, Kenley Jansen, Gavin Lux and AJ Pollock were among the notable absences.
On Monday, Alexander revealed his delayed arrival at Dodger Stadium was due to contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19). He joined Jansen and Pollock in making that public, though Alexander’s experience appears to have been more mild than that of his teammates.
“I got it right before Summer Camp opened. I had some mild symptoms but it wasn’t too bad,” he said.
