Twins, Red Sox Players Among Positive Coronavirus Cases

Four members of the Twins, including third baseman Miguel Sanó, and two Red Sox pitchers are among the MLB players who have tested positive for COVID-19.

The Twins announced Saturday that Sanó, catcher Willians Astudillo and minor leaguers Edwar Colina and Nick Gordon tested positive ahead of summer camp. Sanó and Astudillo are asymptomatic and under quarantine in Minnesota.

Also in the American League, Boston manager Ron Roenicke revealed left-handers Josh Taylor and Darwinzon Hernandez contracted the virus and are in quarantine away from the team.

The announcements from both teams come after Braves skipper Brian Snitker shared first baseman Freddie Freeman, veteran reliever Will Smith, right-hander Touki Toussaint and utility infielder Pete Kozma tested positive for the virus.
