Right fielder Kole Calhoun is the most high-profile Diamondbacks player yet to test positive for COVID-19. According to manager Torey Lovullo, Calhoun is asymptomatic, which is an encouraging sign for the club on both personal and professional levels.
But with more than two weeks to go before their season-opener on July 24, the Diamondbacks are as unsure as everyone else about how long they might be without their starting right fielder.
This they know: Calhoun will quarantine. He will be retested. Once he tests negative twice on tests administered more than 24 hours apart, he will be eligible to return after being cleared by team doctors and by baseball’s joint committee consisting of representatives from the league, the union and two physicians.
