Five members of
the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and a family member have
tested positive for COVID-19, according to USA Today.
The news organization cited the Los Angeles County Department of
Public Health on Friday night, 10 days after the Dodgers won the
World Series in six games over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Los Angeles third baseman Justin Turner was removed in the
eighth inning of the decisive game after being told of his
positive COVID-19 test result, although he controversially
returned to the field to celebrate with his teammates, with and
without a mask.
It is not clear if Turner is included among the five members of
the organization to test positive; none were identified Friday.
USA Today added that "most of the people who tested positive
were outside the so-called bubble at the World Series in
Arlington, Texas."
"The Dodgers organization continues to work with us during this
ongoing outbreak investigation," the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health said in a statement to USA Today.
Major League Baseball announced Friday that Turner will not face
discipline for returning to the field despite his positive
COVID-19 diagnosis.
