Dodgers Rumors: Positive Coronavirus Tests Not From World Series Bubble

Excitement from the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their first World Series since 1988 was dampened a bit as it was accompanied by shocking news of Justin Turner testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

Turner was removed in the eighth inning of Game 6 without any explanation, and concern over his absence grew when he was not seen in the dugout nor on the field when the Dodgers began celebrating their title.

Fox then revealed they had been informed by MLB that Turner was taken out of the game and placed into isolation because of the positive test. With the Dodgers and MLB both complicit, he later emerged on the field alongside his wife for the purpose of taking a photo with the trophy.
