Shortly after the Los Angeles Dodgers had their split-squad Cactus League games cancelled due to inclement weather, Major League Baseball announced all Spring Training games were suspended in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
MLB also indefinitely postponed World Baseball Classic qualifier games and delayed the start of the 2020 regular season for at least two weeks. As it currently stands, the earliest date for Opening Day will be April 9.
“These are unprecedented times, and the health and safety of our community is of the utmost importance to the Los Angeles Dodgers,” the team said in a released statement.
