Major League Baseball has postponed this weekend's series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Toronto Blue Jays after two Phillies staffers tested positive for the coronavirus.

That came after it was reported that another Miami Marlins player tested positive, for a total of 17 players on the team. Miami's games have been postponed through the weekend. 

 

Doubleheaders Will Be Seven Innings

Any MLB doubleheaders this season will now be seven-inning games, according to media reports Thursday. The rule will go into effect Saturday. The rules change is the latest MLB has made for the coronavirus-shortened season.

Others include having designated hitters in the National League and putting a runner at second base to start all half-innings in extra innings.
