Report: Friday's Cardinals-White Sox game postponed due to positive coronavirus test
The coronavirus outbreak that has kept the St. Louis Cardinals sidelined since a July 29 loss to the Minnesota Twins is still hovering over the club.
On Thursday, MLB insider Jon Heyman tweeted that Friday's tilt between the Cardinals and Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field has been called off after a St. Louis coach tested positive for COVID-19.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today added that the Cardinals could be cleared to play a Saturday doubleheader in Chicago.
On Monday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he was convinced the Cardinals could still play enough games to have a "credible" season. As of Thursday morning, every other team in the National League Central had completed at least 15 fixtures.
St. Louis will begin the weekend at 2-3.
