18 MLB teams have committed to paying baseball-operations employees through May 31, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

The Red Sox, Cubs and Braves are among the teams that have agreed to pay employees through the end of May. The Padres will pay all employees through the rest of 2020, though there will be some pay cuts initiated, per The Athletic's Dennis Lin.

MLB suspended all operations on March 12 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. No return date has been set, though the league continues to explore potential avenues for resuming play.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred informed teams on Monday that he will suspend Uniform Employees Contracts.
