SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais and third base coach Manny Acta have both tested positive for COVID-19 and will be away from the team beginning with Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers. First base coach Kristopher Negrón will serve as the acting manager. Negrón managed Seattle’s Triple-A affiliate last season before joining the major league staff this year. Seattle is experiencing a growing number of COVID-19 cases impacting the franchise. Outfielder Mitch Haniger and catcher Luis Torrens are on the COVID-19 injured list. Servais said Tuesday that several other staff members had tested positive in recent days.
