The Miami Marlins' season was suspended Tuesday by Major League Baseball after 15 players and two staff members tested positive for coronavirus between Friday and Tuesday.
In a statement, Marlins CEO Derek Jeter said the team will remain in Philadelphia and continue testing, isolation and quarantining.
"We have moved to a daily testing schedule while we isolate and quarantine appropriately, along with enacting additional preventive procedures with our traveling party," Jeter said. "We look forward to safely returning to Miami where we conducted a successful and healthy Spring 2.0 before departing on the road and experiencing challenges. For the time being, we will remain in Philadelphia and gather information in order to make informed decisions and prepare for our return to action next week."
Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez recommended that once Marlins players return to South Florida, they should quarantine for 14 days.
Braves: There is a possibility that the infections occurred last Wednesday when the Marlins traveled to and from Atlanta for an exhibition game against the Braves.
Phillies: Their four-game series against the Yankees (two home, two away) was postponed as MLB awaited test results from their players who may have come in contact with Marlins players over their first three games. Philadelphia's next game will be at home on Friday against the Blue Jays.
Yankees, Orioles: The scheduled opponents for the Marlins and Phillies will now face each other in Baltimore on Wednesday and Thursday instead of sitting idle until the weekend.
Nationals: The defending World Series champions will have the weekend off with their three-game series against the Marlins postponed.
