MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – On Monday, the Miami Marlins brass spoke to the media about the COVID-19 outbreak in the clubhouse.
Marlins CEO Derek Jeter, Baseball Operations President Mike Hill and Manager Don Mattingly were on the Zoom session, discussing the pause after 21 members of the team’s traveling party, including at least 18 players, got sick.
Jeter said the infected players are doing OK physically, ranging from mild symptoms to asymptomatic.
Following an MLB investigation, Jeter said, it’s impossible to know where the first Marlins player became infected or how the virus reached their clubhouse.
