The Miami Marlins season has been paused until at least next week after Covid-19 infected players and staff, disrupting games for the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies and sending the league scrambling to adjust.

Marlins games against the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals had already been postponed, according to reports. And because the Marlins played the Phillies over the weekend -- potentially exposing them -- a Philadelphia series against the New York Yankees has been pushed back as well.
