De cara a la temporada 2022 de las ligas menores la Major League Baseball ha informado que los peloteros que pertenezcan al sistema de ligas menores no deben estar vacunados obligatoriamente al momento de comenzar la temporada. Informó el periodista de ESPN, Jeff Passan
Major League Baseball will not require minor league players to be vaccinated in the 2022 season, according to a memo sent out this morning and obtained by ESPN. Managers, coaches and on-field staff must be "up to date" on COVID vaccinations to have in-person contact with players.

Sin embargo, el periodista amplió la misiva aclarando que el personal que labore en el cuerpo técnico de los equipos (managers, coaches e incluso los gerentes de los clubes) si deberán estar al día con la pauta de vacunación contra el Covid 19 a la hora de poder tener contacto con sus dirigidos.
Currently unvaccinated staff can get a shot before the start of minor league spring training. Staff can avoid being vaccinated via “only bona fide religious and medical exemption requests.”
