After opting out of playing last year’s shortened season amid the coronavirus pandemic, Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond has announced he won’t play this season either.

The 35-year-old wrote in an Instagram story, “For now, I’ve decided to opt out of the 2021 season. My desire to be with my family is greater than my desire to go back and play baseball under these circumstances. I’m going to continue to train and watch how things unfold.”
