Rob Manfred will inform Major League teams on Monday of a plan that will allow them to furlough employees or reduce their pay beginning in May.

The decision will suspend Uniform Employees Contracts, which can allow a withholding of pay in the event of a national emergency.

Teams would not be required to take such measures, but baseball's decision would provide the possibility of relief for clubs facing the most significant financial duress as the 2020 season remains on hold.
