In the wake of coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreaks affecting the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals clubhouses, Major League Baseball has adjusted its health and safety protocols for the 2020 season.
Players and staff must now wear face coverings at all times while in public on the road. Moreover, team members are banned from visiting bars and other places where large groups of people gather.
These are only a few precautionary measures the league has taken to prevent another COVID-19 outbreak from occurring to one of its clubs. Additional protocols could be added in the coming weeks as the regular season winds down.
