Major League Baseball has officially paused the season of the Miami Marlins until Monday now that half the active roster has tested positive for coronavirus.
Four more Marlins reportedly tested positive Tuesday. This follows Monday’s news that 13 players and coaches from the Marlins had tested positive amid an outbreak on the team. Of the 13, 11 were believed to be players, which brings the total of Marlins players who have tested positive to 15 — or half of the team’s roster — in the five days their season has been going.
The Marlins were in limbo, as infected players recuperate and players from their taxi squad prepare to join the big-league team, so MLB made the decision to pause the Marlins' season until next Monday.
