Major League Baseball's 2020 season is not even a week old and one team has already experienced a coronavirus outbreak that will sideline a chunk of its roster and has caused multiple games to be postponed. On Wednesday, another Miami Marlinsplayer tested positive for COVID-19, according toKen Rosenthal.

The Marlins are now up to at least 18 reported positive cases of COVID-19 between players and coaches of the traveling team since Opening Day, including six players testing positive over the past two days.

Miami's traveling party remains quarantined in Philadelphia as of Wednesday, and they haven't been the only team impacted by the outbreak. The Orioles returned to Baltimore on Monday night, and the Philadelphia Phillies, who hosted the Marlins over the weekend at Citizens Bank Park, also had their Monday and Tuesday night games vs. the Yankees postponed. As a result, the league announced that the Marlins and Phillies will temporarily hit the pause button as the schedule was revised on the fly in an effort to minimize disruption to the season while containing the outbreak.

The Marlins are next scheduled to play Tuesday, Aug. 4 at home against the Phillies, though it's possible a game could be added the day before on Monday, according to Jon Heyman.

MLB issued the following statement on Tuesday:

"The health and safety protocols were designed with a challenging circumstance like the one facing the Marlins in mind," MLB said in a statement. "The response outlined in the joint MLB-MLBPA Operations Manual was triggered immediately upon learning of the cluster of positive cases, including contact tracing and the quarantining and testing of all of the identified close contacts. The Marlins' personnel who tested positive remain in isolation and are receiving care."

Marlins CEO Derek Jeter released a statement saying the team is shifting to a daily testing schedule.

"We continue to take this entire situation very seriously. All of our players, coaches and staff are, understandably, having a difficult time enduring this experience. After receiving additional test results on our Major League team this morning, we reached out to the Commissioner's Office with concern for the health and safety of our team as well as our opponents.

We have moved to a daily testing schedule while we isolate and quarantine appropriately, along with enacting additional preventive procedures with our traveling party. We 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. For the time being, we will remain in Philadelphia and gather information in order to make informed decisions and prepare for our return to action next week."

Here is a look at the revised schedule. It's worth noting that the Phillies have already postponed Friday's restart against Toronto and will instead play a doubleheader on Saturday as the designated road team at Citizens Bank Park, according to Ken Rosenthal. The Blue Jays' 2020 home venue in Buffalo won't be ready for major-league games until Aug. 11.
