MLB Postpones Series In Philadelphia

NEW YORK (AP) – Major League Baseball has postponed this weekend’s scheduled series between Toronto and Philadelphia because of concerns about the coronavirus after two Phillies staffers tested positive. Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo revealed news of the postponed series Thursday, saying his club was “not going to Philadelphia,” where the series was scheduled to take place. It’s the latest in a series of scheduling changes as baseball attempts to play a 60-game season amid a pandemic that is surging in parts of the United States. Earlier Thursday, word emerged that another player with the Miami Marlins tested positive for COVID-19, bringing their total outbreak to 17 players, according to a person familiar with the situation.
