DeShields tested negative for coronavirus Wednesday and has been cleared to travel to Cleveland, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

League rules mandate that a player test negative twice before being allowed to return to team activities. DeShields isn't quite at that step yet, but the fact that he's been cleared to travel indicates that the team expects him to be ready to work out soon. He was reportedly experiencing only mild symptoms when he originally tested positive, so there's a decent chance he'll have time to get into game shape by Opening Day, or at least in good enough shape to fill his projected bench role.
