It has been disclosed by both the MLB and MLBPA that 31 players have recently tested positive for coronavirus.
From WEWS News 5 Cleveland:
All told, MLB said it conducted 3,185 samples, with 1.2% coming back positive. In addition to 31 players testing positive, seven staff members also had a positive COVID-19 result.
There has been at least one person, either a player or staff member, in a total of 19 teams that have come back with a positive test result for coronavirus.

Testing for COVID-19 will happen “frequently.”
