MLB: Hunter Renfroe 'completely wrong' in saying that Boston Red Sox were told to stop testing amid COVID-19 outbreak

Major League Baseball on Thursday refuted Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe's allegation that the league told the team to stop testing for COVID-19 amid the outbreak spreading through the team's clubhouse.

"MLB basically told us to stop the testing and just treat the symptoms," Refroe said earlier Thursday on WEEI's "Merloni and Fauria" show. "And we were like, 'No, we're going to figure out what's going on and keep trying to keep this thing under control.'"

Host Lou Merloni followed up, asking whether MLB had asked the Red Sox to stop testing.
