PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro went on the injured list Friday before their season opener at Philadelphia.
The Marlins didn't give a reason but said they expected Alfaro to return this season.
The Atlanta Braves were without their top two catchers, Tyler Flowers and Travis d'Arnaud, for their opening game Friday at the New York Mets after both players showed symptoms of the coronavirus. There has been concern that catchers are especially vulnerable to the virus because they're in close proximity to batters and the plate umpire.
