A week ago, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said he was bracing for COVID-19 to eventually hit members of the organization.

It apparently has.

Daniels acknowledged on Monday that three minor league players have shown symptoms consistent with the coronavirus that is sweeping through the country. Two of the three, he said, have connections to people who have tested positive.

Though none of the three players have received a test for the highly contagious virus, all are being treated as presumed positive and are self-quarantined. Daniels said all three were “doing better." The Rangers did no release the names of the players.

In addition, Daniels said there have been other cases in which a player has had a family member get ill and, in one case, had a family member pass away from the disease.

The virus has impacted players in other fashions, too.

Ronald Guzman recently announced the sudden death of his grandfather Percio Manuel Cepeda Abreu in an emotional Instagram post. The post, written in Spanish, does not list a cause of death, but does mention that Guzman couldn’t attend the funeral in the Dominican Republic because of “the world situation.”

Guzman was extremely close to his grandfather and wore “Cedpeda” on the back of his jersey for his first Players’ Weekend in 2018.

“Everyone who knows me knows how important he is to me, the teachings he gave me as a child, the desire I always had of being like him,” Guzman wrote. “All my success, he was always part of. He was my daily motivation.”
