Statement Regarding the Coronavirus

MIDLAND, Mich. – Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball announced the suspension of baseball activities and delayed the start of the 2020 season. This decision was made in the interest of public health and safety in response to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Beginning Monday, March 16, all events scheduled at Dow Diamond will be postponed. Determinations on the rescheduling of activities and the resumption of events will be made in accordance with recommendations from state and local health officials.
