SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks are two of the Major League Baseball teams participating in a study of the coronavirus that will test hundreds of people — including players — from the various clubs for antibodies.
Both Arizona and San Francisco confirmed they were participating. The Oakland Athletics also are taking part, a person with direct knowledge of the club's decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because specific details weren't made public.
Stanford University is one of the institutions running the study. Which employees are in the study varies by teams, the person said without offering specifics on who with Oakland had been tested.
