Yoshihisa Hirano Tests Positive For COVID-19
4 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Yoshihisa Hirano has tested positive for COVID-19 and was transferred to the injured list on July 14. Hirano had tested positive back on June 25 and has since had one negative test. He will need one more negative test in order to get back into camp with the Mariners. It is good news that he appears to be recovering from the virus, but with the season starting soon and Hirano still needing to work out and get into game-ready shape, he might not be ready to go for Seattle's bullpen by Opening Day next Friday. Matt Magill looks to be in line for the closer position to start 2020, with Austin Adams, Dan Altavilla and Anthony Misiewicz as potential setup men.
