The field at PNC Park contained a welcome sight yesterday—various Pirates cavorting about in black and gold workout gear. Gregory Polanco was among those players there, as was Kevin Newman. The first official workout isn’t until tomorrow, but Bucs manager Derek Shelton, like the rest of us, is “fired up” to see everyone coming back per an interview on the Pirates’ website.
MLB technically opened back up yesterday, but the first few days for just about every team, including the Pirates, will consist of screening and testing. Players will have their temperatures taken every other day and be asked about possible COVID-19 symptoms every day.
