While the MLB’s highly anticipated 2020 season kicked off this weekend there was no shortage of ominous signs as players took to empty stadiums amid a pandemic.

Just four days into the shortened season, it is now being reported that eight Miami Marlins players and two coaches have been removed from the team’s active roster after testing positive for COVID-19. The team has now canceled its home opener against Baltimore that was scheduled for today, while the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies also canceled their game Monday, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The Phillies played the Marlins over the weekend. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Reds announced a positive test over the weekend, and slugger Mike Moustakas stayed away from the ballpark on Sunday after he felt ill that morning.
