Major League Baseball announced the extension of financial support for Minor League players through May 31 or until the beginning of the 2020 MiLB season — whichever occurs first. Each team will make its own arrangements to provide support for players on Dominican Summer League rosters during the same period.
The announcement comes shortly after MLB said Minor League players would receive their stipends and allowances through April 8, when Opening Day of their season was initially scheduled for.
All players will continue to receive medical benefits and may continue to use any balance they have in the College Scholarship Plan or Continuing Education Program.
