Baseball is back. Rather, baseball will be back on July 1st when MLB training camps begin in home markets after the MLB Players Association and the league came to an agreement after nearly three months of frustrating negotiations. The 2020 season will run through September 27, consist of 60-games under unique protocol, and include four former Ole Miss Rebels.
While changes to the schedule and play structure are one thing, the most glaring matter lies with roster management, positive COVID-19 tests and how to handle injuries without a minor league season. To address this concern, there will be a COVID-19 injured list with no minimum or maximum length of time spent on it, while standard injured list stints will be for 10 days and the typical 60-day stint will instead be for 45 days.
