COVID-19 cases force closures of MLB, NHL training facilities

Major League Baseball's Philadelphia Phillies have closed their Florida training base after eight COVID-19 positives and the Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants and the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning also shuttered training facilities. The NBA and Major League Soccer plan to gather in quarantine areas near Orlando to resume their virus-halted campaigns in July after play was stopped in March. The Phillies said five players and three staff members tested positive for COVID-19 at the club's Clearwater training facility, which MLB said was being shuttered indefinitely.
