No players, coaches or baseball operations personnel were among those to test positive.
The Texas Rangers said late Friday night that several of their front-office employees at Globe Life Field have tested positive for COVID-19 over the past two days, confirming a report from ESPN.
A source said that no players, coaches or baseball operations personnel were among those who tested positive. The club has conducted tracing to learn who has been in contact with the sick employees and to attempt to learn where it originated in the new offices that opened in February.
In a statement, the team said it quickly enacted the safety protocols in place for positive tests. Among them, any employee who had contact with the infected workers was sent home and will undergo testing.
None of those affected will be allowed back into the ballpark without a negative test.
