Philadelphia Phillies hold first workout as MLB players return to training

The Philadelphia Phillies held their first workout on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia as MLB players began reporting to training camps on Wednesday.

Wednesday was the first day teamscould begin their three week of spring camps as Major League Baseball pushes ahead with its plan to start a 60 game shortened season later this month.

The Phillies will have 54 players in camp, but that can increase to 60 if needed to replace any players that test positive for COVID-19 or the team suspects they have been in contact with a player or staff member who tests positve.

Last month at least 12 members of the Phillies organisation, including seven players, tested positive for coronavirus.
