MLB Finds No New Positive COVID-19 Tests Outside Marlins Organization

Major League Baseball has issued a statement about its COVID-19 test results in the wake of the outbreak that has affected the Miami Marlins. 

Per the statement, the Marlins are the only organization that has returned positive tests for on-field personnel in over 6,400 tests that have been administered since June 24:

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Tuesday that the Marlins had four new positive tests, bringing their total number up to 17 positives over the past five days. 

As a result, MLB announced it has postponed the Marlins schedule through Sunday, and "out of an abundance of caution," the Philadelphia Phillies' home-and-home series against the New York Yankees this week has been postponed. 

The Marlins played the Phillies in a three-game series in Philadelphia over the weekend. 

Per USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Phillies haven't had any players or coaches return a positive test thus far.

The updated information comes four days after MLB announced a total of 99 positive cases from 32,640 tests administered since the testing program began earlier this month.
