Report: Marlins Pitcher José Ureña Tests Positive for COVID-19

Marlins pitcher José Ureña was scratched from his start Sunday against the Phillies after reportedly testing positive for COVID-19, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.

Ureña, Heyman reports, "feels fine" but will have to go on the coronavirus-related injured list.

Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper and right fielder Harold Ramírez have also tested positive for the coronavirus, per Heyman, while catcher Jorge Alfaro has been on the IL since Friday due to COVID-19.

The Marlins have been on the road since Tuesday when they played the Braves in an exhibition game. Miami opened the regular season on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.
