The Philadelphia Phillies, who hosted the Marlins over the weekend, also postponed their game on Monday against the New York Yankees, and underwent testing. Media reports said the Orioles were returning to Baltimore on Monday, effectively calling off the second half of the scheduled two-game series in Miami on Tuesday night.
MLB reporter Scott Miller said the plan as of Monday afternoon called for the Marlins who had not tested positive to take a bus to Baltimore, where they are scheduled to play the Orioles on Wednesday and Thursday. Taxi squad players will join the team there to replace the quarantined players.
