Major League Baseball's season hit another bump in the road today, as the league announced that the Miami Marlins season is being suspended through Sunday after an outbreak of COVID-19; USA Today reports that 15 players and two staff members have tested positive.

MLB said, via their website, that the series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees set to kick off tonight has been postponed, since the Phillies recently played the Marlins. Now, the Yankees will now play the Baltimore Orioles (who were scheduled to play the Marlins this week) at Camden Yards on Wednesday and Thursday. They add that additional rescheduling during the week of August 3rd will be announced later this week.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA - MAY 11: Dakota "Stilts" Albritton #14 of the Savannah Bananas pitches against the Party Animals at Grayson Stadium on May 11, 2023 in Savannah, Georgia. Albritton plays Banana Ball on Stilts. He plays the field, bats, and he pitches all while wearing a pair of stilts while playing. The Historic Grayson Stadium is the home of the independent professional baseball team called the Savannah Bananas. The Bananas were part of the Coastal Plain League, a summer collegiate league, for seven seasons. In 2022, the Bananas announced that they were leaving the Coastal Plain League to play Banana Ball year-round. Banana Ball was born out of the idea of making baseball more fast-paced, entertaining, and fun. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
