MLB is already looking at entering a playoff bubble, and that’s probably the right move. The good news is that the latest COVID-19 testing numbers from around the league show that players continue to do a good job of staying healthy.
The latest MLB results show that there were 11,669 samples tested around baseball during this monitoring period. Of those tests, just 1 came back with a positive result for COVID-19. That 1 test was a staff member for a team, not a player. That comes out to just 0.009% new positives across the sport for this period.
