MLB saw two positive COVID-19 tests over the past week.
Of the 12,276 samples collected and tested through Thursday, Aug. 27, the two that came back positive were staff members from one MLB club. No players have tested positive over the last seven days.
Since MLB and the MLBPA began testing players every other day in July, 90,888 samples have been collected and 84 have been positive, including 54 players. While MLB has seen numerous postponements due to positive COVID-19 tests since starting the 2020 season in late July, the league hasn’t been forced to delay games as a result of the coronavirus since last weekend’s Subway Series between the Yankees and Mets was rescheduled.
MLB has seen multiple games postponed this week as players use their platform to protest racial and social injustice in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake last weekend in Kenosha, Wis.
