Phillies Set To Play New York Yankees After Reporting No Positive COVID-19 Results For Fourth Day Straight

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Philadelphia Phillies will return to the field Monday night after being postponed for a week due to coronavirus exposure. The Phillies will head to New York to play the Yankees tonight after reporting no new positive COVID-19 cases for the fourth straight day.

First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.

The Phillies returned to Citizens Bank Park for staggered workouts on Saturday after a coach and clubhouse staff member tested positive for COVID-19 after the Phils’ series with the Miami Marlins, but MLB reportedly believes the tests were false positives.

The teams home-and-home series against the New York Yankees last week was rescheduled for precautionary reasons after more than a dozen Miami Marlins players tested positive for the virus following a weekend series against the Phils.
