More members of the Cardinals organization have tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple reports.
The latest round of coronavirus tests from the St. Louis Cardinals are, in the words of someone with the team, “not good.” There are expected to be multiple new positives, sources tell ESPN. Cardinals took more tests this morning, and results of those should arrive by tonight. Sunday’s testing is being fast-tracked, sources said. The Cardinals said in a statement they don’t anticipate any official updates until Monday.
The St. Louis Cardinals have multiple new positive results for the coronavirus within the organization as a result of Saturday’s testing, according to sources with direct knowledge of the stituation.
On Saturday, the team had one player and three staff members test positive, while four more members of the organization had inconclusive results, team president John Mozeliak said during a video conference call with reporters.
The inconclusive tests came from one player and three staff members. The Cardinals have been isolated from each other since arriving in Milwaukee for a three-game weekend series, and all three games have been postponed.
The positive tests that were previously announced prompted the team’s entire weekend series in Milwaukee to be postponed. The first game of the upcoming four game series against the Tigers set for Monday was postponed and is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday, at least for now.
Reports indicate the number of new positive tests will determine what the Cardinals do going forward.
