The Chicago Cubs had a positive COVID-19 test. It was in the Arizona Instructional League, and they did not reveal the player.

To be honest, the Chicago Cubs had it in the Arizona Instructional League, and they didn’t reveal the player who had a positive COVID-19 test. The team was the only one not to have a positive test amongst the entire roster. They had coaches who had it (Tommy Hottovy, Mike Napoli) and staff–but never a player–well, until now.

They played an intrasquad game on Saturday. On Monday and Tuesday, out of caution for the team, they canceled the games.
