In the immediate aftermath of Major League Baseball cancelling all remaining Spring Training games and delaying the start of the 2020 season in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, teams began to implement a wide range of policies and plans.
Some closed their respective Spring Training facilities, while the Los Angeles Dodgers kept Camelback Ranch open. Manager Dave Roberts explained the club intended to hold voluntary workouts and he noted the overwhelming sense was players wanted to remain in Arizona.
While the Dodgers planned to move forward with organized workouts, Roberts noted there would need to be a balance struck so as not to suffer lingering effects during what the organization anticipates would be a deep postseason run.
