Giants OF Alex Dickerson cleared to play after positive test

Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson received news of a positive test result for the novel coronavirus on Friday night moments before he was set to play at San Diego - and he knew in his gut it couldn't possibly be right. Dickerson got pulled off the field and immediately was placed in isolation at Petco Park, and two games between San Francisco and San Diego were postponed. A former Padres player who is from the San Diego area, Dickerson had a half-dozen more tests and got back to the field Sunday for a doubleheader despite the emotional and physical exhaustion of what he went through - he was starting in left field and batting second in the opener.
