AP sources: MLB umpire tests positive for virus, crews shift
(AP Photo/Morry Gash)NEW YORK โ A Major League Baseball umpire tested positive for the coronavirus, prompting a late shift in crew assignments in Florida this week, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The affected umpire, who wasnโt identified, was not on the field when the result was learned. A dozen umpires, including eight crew chiefs, opted out of working the shortened season because of virus considerations. The Division Series, League Championship Series and World Series will be held under protective bubbles set up to minimize exposure to the virus. Itโs all about what the risk of interacting with the community is.โ___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
