Houston Astros star George Springer is the latest athlete to help out stadium workers who will be impacted by suspensions to the sporting calendar amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Per Mark Berman of Fox 26, Springer will donate $100,000 to employees at Minute Maid Park after MLB's Opening Day was pushed back by at least two weeks Thursday.

“These are the people that help take care of my family when I go to work," Springer said. "Now I want to help take care of them when they’re in a time of need.”

A number of teams and athletes in various sports have pledged to help out stadium workers who won't be able to work as a result of leagues being shut down.

The Dallas Mavericks announced event staff at American Airlines Arena will be paid for the six home games that would have been played during the NBA's 30-day hiatus. Golden State Warriors owners, players and coaches contributed a total of $1 million to a disaster relief fund for Chase Center employees.

NBA players Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans, Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo have pledged to donate $100,000 to their home stadium workers.

MLB has delayed the start of the regular season by at least two weeks because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
