The Marlins' home opener against the Baltimore Orioles is off, as well as the Philadelphia Phillies' home game against the Yankees, a source confirmed to ESPN's Marly Rivera.
The Marlins just completed a series in Philadelphia, and seven more players and two coaches with the Marlins tested positive for the coronavirus.
13 cases are now being reported within their clubhouse in recent days.
The Marlins remain in Philadelphia and continue to undergo testing.
Before the Phillies-Yankees game was postponed, the Yankees were informed that the visitors clubhouse had been completely disinfected several times, sources told Rivera. The Yankees also brought their own clubhouse personnel down from New York City to work the game, but those actions don't appear to be enough.
On Sunday, four Marlins players tested positive for the coronavirus, including that day's starter, Jose Urena.
Before the Marlins' opening series in Philadelphia, the team played an exhibition game in Atlanta on Wednesday. It's also possible that the infections occurred there.
Update: MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports “since the outbreak has been confined to the Marlins thus far, there’s been no serious discussion at this point about pausing/suspending the season. Marlins-Orioles game tonight is canceled and Phillies-Yankees game may well be canceled as well. But that’s it to this point.”
