The Phillies announced four more COVID-positive test results on Tuesday

This past Friday, the Philadelphia Phillies entered national headlines — but not for the reason they would have liked. They became the first Major League Baseball team to report having COVID-positive players.

Amid then still ongoing between MLB and the MLBPA, NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury reported that five Phillies who were training at the team’s Clearwater, Florida, facility — as well as three staff members — tested positive for coronavirus.
