Major League Baseball sent out guidelines to teams on Sunday to end group workouts at spring and home parks. Spring camps will remain open but will be operating with limited staff. The league also is encouraging minor league players to return home with a few exceptions.
One of the reasons for the distancing is to reduce the spread should one of the players test positive for COVID-19. That is the exact scenario that the Yankees are dealing with after a minor league player has tested positive. New York GM Brian Cashman told reporters on Sunday that the player’s symptoms have dissipated although he remains isolated. The Yankees have took precautionary measures and have self-quarantined all minor league players, some coaches and personnel until March 25.
