Blue Jays former pitcher Dave Stewart tests negative for Covid-19

As we wait to truly see what the effects of the spread of Covid-19 are across North America, we’ve been getting some positive news from the baseball world.

A few days ago, Blue Jays President and CEO Mark Shapiro indicated that none of the players or staff throughout the organization have been tested yet, as no one has displayed symptoms to warrant it thus far. That certainly qualifies as a positive thing, and Blue Jays fans got another piece of good news on Tuesday as well.

One of their former pitchers, Dave Stewart, was tested for the Covid-19 virus last week, and thankfully he was able to announce a negative test result from his Twitter account on Tuesday.
