Due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced on June 30, 2020 that the 2020 Minor League Baseball season would not be played.[4]
On July 27, 2020, both away games against the Miami Marlins were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, because there was a COVID outbreak in the Miami Marlins organization, and later the Orioles′ home games were also postponed. As a result, the Orioles played the New York Yankees on July 29–30.
