Seven St. Louis Cardinals players and six staff
members tested positive for COVID-19, causing Major League Baseball
to postpone the team’s four-game series at Detroit.
The series was to have been played at Comerica Park from Tuesday
through Thursday.
St. Louis has been in quarantine since Thursday in Milwaukee, where
the Cardinals’ series last weekend was postponed, and the team is
being tested daily.
St. Louis last played July 29 at Minnesota and is tentatively set
to resume its schedule this Friday at home against the Chicago Cubs.
The Cardinals are the second team sidelined by the novel
coronavirus since the season started July 23.
The Miami Marlins are set to resume play Tuesday in Baltimore
following an outbreak within their traveling party that sidelined
half the players. Miami has not played since July 26.
Because the outbreak occurred in the visiting clubhouse at Citizens
Bank Park, the Phillies were sidelined for a week while they were
tested daily.
