Luis Madero Tests Positive For COVID-19

By Jeff Todd | July 3, 2020 at 10:20pm CDT

Giants right-hander Luis Madero has tested positive for COVID-19, as Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic was among those to cover via Twitter. He consented to the release of the medical information.

Madero, 23, was claimed and outrighted back in the pre-coronavirus days of Spring Training. That familiar grab-and-stash roster tactic has worked for the Giants since Farhan Zaidi came to town, though it’s expected to be utilized less frequently in 2020.

The Giants previously revealed that outfielder Hunter Bishop had tested positive as well. He’d have been a part of the 60-man player pool. Otherwise, Madero is the only player that was identified as being infected upon reporting for the launch of Summer Camp.

Fortunately, there’s no indication at this point that Madero is dealing with particularly concerning symptoms. He’ll need both to recover physically and register two negative tests before he’s able to get back to the 60-man activities.

Madero likely didn’t have a real shot at earning a big-league gig out of the gates, but he surely could be a candidate for a chance at the majors at some point this season if he performs well. He has at times looked like a legitimate MLB prospect, but has also endured some rough patches. One of those came last year at Double-A, where he worked to a 5.72 ERA with 7.5 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 89 2/3 innings.

    Madero is a pitcher, not an infielder.

    I dont think they will end up playing a game. If they do, they won’t get 60 games in. COVID is back in full force and now the best player in the game (Trout) has publicly said that he isnt fully comfortable playing.

        Sadly, many posters here are simply selfish, only thinking of themselves. Imagine if there was a war today and a need to reinstitute a draft. Well folks, sorry to educate you but this is a war, just against a disease. The only way to beat it is to be united as a country and learn from your allies.

      According to various sources Trout wasn’t comfortable because he was sitting on a porcupine at the time..

      I still think there will be games played but whether we reach the end of October is questionable. As someone on the original Trout article stated much more eloquently than me – in an industry that is worth 10 billion in revenue in a normal year – there are still billions of dollars out there (say 3 or 4 billion) in this abnormal year. Add the chance for baseball to market itself to a national sports desperate audience – wishful thinking I know given that this seemed to elude both MLB/MLBPA during the recent negotiated poop slinging – and I see enough reason to try.

      In Mike Trout’s case, I’d stay at home. I’d be more comfortable in my own head with being with my lady wife and soon to be new born.

      Have great weekends….

      Every time someone calls for the end of baseball due to covid they are politicking.

      Again, everytime some gets on here and says there will be no baseball it’s bc they support a political agenda to shut life down until the president is removed from office.

      Utterly disgusting how covid is such a political issue and how blatantly obvious real organic change is needed in our country. the puppet masters know this so they keep us divided; hating each other so we can’t unite against their oppression. Overcome the narrative and love your neighbor

        I am not sure if you are accusing me of politicking/supporting a political agenda. If you are it’s funny because I am not a U.S. citizen and dont live in the U.S. I have no horse in that race.

      We worry about it because we are heading towards 150K deaths with no end in sight. After 150, that orange moron wants to take us to 250K, 500K, 1,000,000 plus.
      Covid is ruining this country. It’s destroyed our economy. The economic depression is on its way.

        Your actually blaming the Pres. dumb for sure, its the Gov and Mayor of these States an Cities for allowing no masks and opening of bars, parties, etc. Then you have thousands of idiots rioting with no concern about the virus.

          Wrong nowhere. It’s the lack of leadership from the top. A federal law requiring stay at home mandates at the same time along with subsequent social distancing and masks orders was needed and you know what, it’s never too late. Start thinking of the future infections and deaths that can still be prevented instead of worrying about the November elections. Who knows, if new orders improve the nation)s health, such could impact the elections.

    Unfortunately with sports returning, you are going to see way more of this. But what’s crazy is NASCAR has been back for a minute now and they just had their first. Basketball and baseball literally are in day one and have had several. Crazy

        At least Mr Orange has brought back 5M into the work place last two months and our economy up to the virus has never been better, you must be retired or don’t care about the economy, let’s hope the socialist don’t get in.

    In two weeks when the idiots that are out celebrating Independence Day today start getting sick, another shut down will happen and baseball will be finished for this year. This will be due to nobody and nothing but our own bad behavior

      HIPPA does apply. If a player contracts Covid-19 his name cannot be released without his consent unlike Baseball related injuries where HIPPA is
      “superceded” by the CBA.
