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.
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.
