Major League Baseball has had 30-plus players and staff test positive for coronavirus since early rounds of testing began. Here’s where I come in with a MLB COVID tracker. I’ll list every MLB player who has tested positive for the coronavirus thus far. This post will be updated daily.

Important Note: As it currently stands, teams cannot in any way acknowledge that a player is sidelined due to any COVID-19 issues — a positive test, delayed results which require isolation, symptoms, exposure to someone who has it — without their permission due to privacy concerns and HIPAA laws, per union orders. This means that any player that is mentioned in this list has either gone public or given permission to their ball club to disclose this personal information.

NL East 

Braves 

• 1B, Freddie Freeman (Cleared to return)
• IF, Pete Kozma
• RHP, Touki Toussaint (Cleared to return)
• LHP, Will Smith

What are the next steps for the Marlins? Figuring out where they’re going, how they’re getting there, who will be there and what they can do to put together something that resembles a major league team. Talked about it on @FirstTake earlier today. pic.twitter.com/k3ABa47gvy

Here's Bob Nightengale on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh insinuating that the Marlins COVID-19 outbreak was caused by players leaving their hotel while in Atlanta last week. "At least one guy did for sure," he says. pic.twitter.com/zTDwTrtu9M

Another Marlins player has tested positive for COVID-19, but the team anticipated this result from its contact tracing, a source tells The Athletic. Latest positive case brings team totals to 17 players and two coaches, though one of the coaches has since tested negative.

Marlins are now scheduled to play Tuesday at Baltimore. They have 13 healthy players still in Philly (11 up and 2 on taxi squad), they’ve claimed 3, signed 2 and traded for 1. That still leaves room for 11 more, many of whom will come from Jupiter (the alternate site).

COVID-19 destroyed the Marlins’ roster overnight. It had to be rebuilt just as quickly as it was shattered. Now, 2 1/2 weeks later, the Marlins come home as the improbable leaders of the NL East. Here’s how it was done:https://t.co/1hMz06YaUU

For the 3rd straight day, the #Phillies have reported no positive tests for COVID-19.

Orioles

UPDATE on Rodriguez

Well, a 27-year old starting @MLB pitcher couldn't throw 20 pitches without getting exhausted after "recovering" from COVID. Now it looks like he might have permanent heart damage.

American exceptionalism means something way different than I thought.https://t.co/E6MEJM54xY

— Kellen Squire (@SquireForYou) July 24, 2020

Eduardo Rodriguez (heart issue related to Covid) will not return this year. The Red Sox do say they expect him to make a full recovery, and hopefully that’s the case.

The latest announcement from MLB.

The entire Cardinals-Brewers series is now off. Cardinals off until Tuesday.

So they’re the 3rd team that’s been shut down for at least 5 days – in a season that’s only 10 days old! pic.twitter.com/Ry0SUe8vbU

— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) August 2, 2020

Source informed me of the names of the two #Cardinals positives. The Athletic has a policy of not outing positive cases without their approval, so I will honor those players’ privacy. We feel comfortable sharing this: both are pitchers.

#STLCards have no new positives today in tests today. Need another clean round before release from Milwaukee hotel but this is very good news. Possible to have full schedule Friday.

Friday's series opener between the Cubs and Cardinals has been postponed after at least one more positive COVID-19 test in the St. Louis clubhouse, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The Cardinals have not played since July 29 due to positive coronavirus tests. https://t.co/zAnnSpwCBp

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) August 7, 2020

The #STLCards learned that a five-day pause wasn’t enough, it seems. So, how long will they wait to play this time? How many games can they miss and still play a viable season? No wonder the team’s top baseball exec hasn’t slept in days. https://t.co/iOpiLVdCVV

— Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) August 8, 2020

During his weekly interview on KMOX/1120 AM, #stlcards manager Mike Shildt reveals what has been asked often about: Some COVID-19 positive individuals with team have had to go to the Emergency Room due to symptoms.

Team says none have remained hospitalized.

Two more Cardinals games postponed.

This means that they’ll still have played just 5 games when they wake up Friday morning.

The Reds will have played 19.
