MLB Adjusts Health And Safety Protocols In Wake Of COVID-19 Outbreaks

Major League Baseball suffered a scare just one week into the regular season when it was determined that over 20 members of the Miami Marlins organization tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).

While the Marlins have since returned to action, the St. Louis Cardinals are still waiting to get back on the field after several players and coaches contracted the virus as well.

In the wake of these recent breakouts, the league is working hard to tighten up its health and safety protocols. A recent change that was made allows all 30 clubs to keep 28 players on their active roster for the remainder of the 2020 season.
