On Wednesday, general manager Matt Klentak said an employee who works at the visiting club’s headquarters tested positive.
The Phillies said all activity at Citizens Bank Park has been canceled Thursday and until further notice.
The Phillies’ four-game series at home and at home against the New York Yankees was postponed this week after a coronavirus outbreak among the Miami Marlins, who played a season opener series in Philadelphia last weekend.
The Phillies are slated to host Toronto this weekend in a series that was originally slated to hit the road, but had to be changed because the Blue Jays’ temporary stadium in Buffalo, New York, is not ready.
The teams will not play on Friday and will have a traditional double game on Saturday.
