The Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series win on Tuesday was quickly overshadowed by news that third baseman Justin Turner had tested positive for COVID-19.
Turner was pulled from the game in the eighth inning without explanation.
It was reported after the game that his test results, which were only taken during the game, came back positive.
However, moments later, Turner was seen celebrating on the field with his teammates, even taking off his mask for a team photo.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Turner's recklessness on Tuesday stands in opposition to his handling of COVID-19 during the season.
