As the Miami Marlins struggle to contain their COVID-19 outbreak, another player tested positive Wednesday, but the team is making moves to replenish the roster a day after MLB canceled the rest of the team’s games through Sunday.
According to a league source, one additional player tested positive for the coronavirus, bringing the total of players with COVID-19 to 16 since the start of the season on Friday. That’s more than half of the active 30-man roster. The team is scheduled to resume play Tuesday in Miami against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Toward that end, the Marlins are working to replenish some depth, hoping to patch together a roster to keep going with their season.
