The Phillies and Miami Marlins have not played since Sunday, when the Marlins opted to go forth with their game at Philadelphia after four of its players tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Now, there are two Major League Baseball teams tasked with making up a week’s worth of games wiped out by a COVID-19 outbreak - and almost guaranteed not to finish their 60-game schedules.
The Phillies held a workout at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, their first baseball-related activity since Sunday's game. The hailstorm of makeups increases the likelihood of two scenarios baseball purists may not like: That the season ends with teams having played an unequal number of games, forcing winning percentage to decide playoff berths, and that doubleheaders may be limited to a pair of seven-inning games.
"From my perspective, I’m not overly concerned," says Milwaukee Brewers general manager David Stearns, whose team could vie with the East clubs for one of five NL playoff spots going to non-division winners.
