Minnesota Twins have had 'a few' players test positive for coronavirus

The Minnesota Twins have had "a few" players in their organization recently test positive for the coronavirus.

President of baseball operations Derek Falvey said Thursday that each player is "doing well" in self-isolation at home. None of the positive tests came from a player currently in Minnesota or in Fort Myers, Florida, where the team's spring training facilities are located. Falvey declined to specify the exact number of positive cases or whether the players are major leaguers or minor leaguers. Prior to the recent positive tests, Falvey said, the Twins had no known cases among players or staff.

Major league camps are set to reopen next week, mostly at home stadiums.
