At least three Major League Baseball games have been postponed just a few days into the coronavirus-shortened season because of an outbreak among the Miami Marlins, with more than a dozen players and staff members testing positive.

Miami's home opener against the Baltimore Orioles Monday was postponed as was their game tonight. The New York Yankees' game against the Phillies in Philadelphia was also postponed, where the Yanks would have been in the same clubhouse the Marlins used.

Commissioner Rob Manfred said Monday, “I don’t see it as a nightmare. . . . we think we can keep people safe and continue to play.”
