\n Major League Baseball, its season having struck a coronavirus iceberg just days after leaving port, took dramatic, dizzying measures Tuesday to keep its endeavor afloat.<\/p>\n

The Marlins, with four more players testing positive for COVID-19 Tuesday to give them a total of 15 (plus two coaches), will cease playing through Sunday, the league announced. The Phillies, who hosted the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park last weekend \u2014 and played the series<\/a> finale on Sunday despite knowing already of four positive Miami cases \u2014 won\u2019t play through Thursday. And the Yankees, who were supposed to play the Phillies this week in a home-and-home, instead headed from Philadelphia (where they did nothing for two days) to Baltimore so they could take on the Orioles \u2014 who were supposed to be playing the Marlins \u2014 Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a world where no one has dealt with anything like this before,\u201d Yankees general<\/a> manager Brian Cashman said, \u201cso I think we all need to be pliable and be able to pivot and at least be open to adjust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether any adjustments will prove sufficient to save baseball\u2019s 2020 campaign remains undetermined. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States\u2019 top infectious diseases expert, told ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d on Tuesday that the Marlins\u2019 outbreak \u201ccould put [the season] in danger.\u201d Fauci added: \u201cI don\u2019t believe they need to stop, but we just need to follow this and see what happ<\/a>ens with other teams on a day-by-day basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what MLB intends to do, with particular scrutiny on the Marlins and Phillies. If the league considered bringing the Marlins back sooner than Monday, such enthusiasm surely was curbed by the Nationals voting to not travel<\/a> to Miami this weekend. While the Nats couldn\u2019t unilaterally declare such an action, MLB surely wouldn\u2019t slap three forfeit losses on the defending champions in this environment. Pausing the Marlins through Sunday solved that problem.<\/p>\n

With everyone running for cover as the ground shook under MLB\u2019s feet, MLB blamed the Marlins for this headache, and Miami\u2019s CEO Derek Jeter blamed the road for his club\u2019s troubles.<\/p>\n

After boasting that no one outside the Marlins had tested positive in more than 6,400 tests conducted since July 24 \u2014 and that the overall positive rate through July 23 had been 0.3 percent from over 32,000 samples \u2014 MLB added, \u201cThe difficult circumstances of one Club reinforce the vital need to be diligent with the protocols in all ways, both on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeter, meanwhile, said his team will stay in Philadelphia until the situation calms down and hereon will undergo daily testing, an uptick over MLB\u2019s every-other-day protocol. Jeter added: \u201cWe look forward to safely returning to Miami where we conducted a successful and healthy Spring 2.0 before departing on the road and experiencing challenges.\u201d The Marlins played a pair of exhibition game<\/a>s in Atlanta July 22-23 before heading to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The Phillies took consolation in that no one on their team had contracted the disease as of Tuesday. Yet as manager Joe Girardi noted in an interview with MLB Network Radio, \u201c[T]he incubation period is 2-to-14 days. And I know we can\u2019t wait 14 days, but I think we have to be really smart about this.\u201d They will wait four days. Girardi, moreover, expressed regret for the Phillies\u2019 decision to finish the Marlins series while knowing that his Yankees pal Jeter\u2019s team was facing peril.<\/p>\n

The Yankees, meanwhile, found themselves hit by the Marlins shrapnel because they happened to be the team following them to Philadelphia. Yankees player representative Zack Britton said the players agreed rather easily Tuesday to head to Baltimore rather than go home as originally scheduled. MLB said that more schedule alterations will be announced shortly; the original schedule called for the Yankees to go to Baltimore next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to have to deal with the curveballs that can likely come on a daily and weekly basis,\u201d Aaron Boone said.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing into it, we understood that \u2026 there could be a team that could have multiple positive tests,\u201d said Britton, who professed his confidence that the Yankees would continue to honor the collectively bargained health and safety protocols.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if any of us thought there would be. \u2026 I think they\u2019re up to 17 cases now, 15 players,\u201d Girardi said accurately of the Marlins.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an awful lot, exactly half of Miami\u2019s roster. Then again, Fox Sports announced Tuesday evening that an awful lot of people streamed the July 25 Yankees-Nationals game \u2014 a regular-season record \u2014 which explains why MLB desperately wants to keep the season going.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t tell you I have confidence. I can\u2019t tell you I don\u2019t have confidence [about the rest of the season],\u201d Cashman said. \u201cI can tell you we\u2019re going to do everything in our power to do everything the right way and play baseball as long as we can. If something changes, it changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

More icebergs loom out there. Can baseball, with the same unreliable GPS as everyone else in these unprecedented times, avoid them?<\/p>\n
