With the dawn of the 2020 MLB season fast approaching, players across the league have weighed in on the league's health protocols and testing plan. Among the steps players are taking to help ensure safety throughout the 60-game season? Wearing their masks during games.

"I'm going to try," Diaz said. "I think we have to be smart about this. I feel like if I feel comfortable wearing a mask playing on the field, I’m going to use it.
