CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson: Almost 40 percent of the Miami Marlins’ active roster has tested positive for COVID-19 in the last couple of days. In total, 11 of the 33 players who traveled to Philadelphia, plus two coaches, have the virus. Despite the clear outbreak, MLB has no plans to suspend the season as of now. Rob Manfred and the owners had a conference call on Monday afternoon, and the idea of stopping the season wasn’t discussed. Instead, they talked about redoubling health directives, such as players wearing masks in the clubhouse, and reinforcing “on-field behavior prohibitions” against things like high fives and spitting.
