Miami Marlins cancels home opener as team is ravaged by coronavirus: Report

Major League Baseball’s plan for a coronavirus-shortened season hit at a snag less than a week after opening day.

The Miami Marlins’s home opener, which was scheduled for Monday night against the Baltimore Orioles, was canceled shortly after the number of players and coaches who were diagnosed with the virus jumped to 14, according to ESPN. Some of the players who have tested positive played in the team’s first three games in Philadelphia against the Phillies.
