(CNN) A number of players and coaches on the Miami Marlins tested positive for Covid-19, pushing Major League Baseball to postpone two games and raising questions about its plans to hold a season amid a pandemic. The Marlins' home opener against the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees game at the Philadelphia Phillies have been postponed, MLB said, as the league conducts more coronavirus testing. Eleven Marlins players and two coaches tested positive for the virus, ESPN reports. Marlins CEO Derek Jeter said the team is staying in Philadelphia, where it just played a three-game series, pending the results of a new round of testing. The positive tests come just days after MLB began its abbreviated 60-game season, which had been delayed from its usual April opening because of the pandemic, and already threaten to upend the young season.
