Reports: Two Cardinals Players Test Positive, Series with Brewers Could Resume Saturday

The Brewers’ home opener was supposed to have given Christian Yelich the opportunity to improve upon his MLB-worst -0.5 fWAR. Instead, he’ll be forced to wonder what could have been under Miller Park’s manipulated lights because positive COVID-19 tests in the Cardinals organization have forced the postponement of Friday’s game.

Multiple sources have indicated to me there are two players on the Cardinals testing positive for COVID-19. First to report positive tests @JonHeyman.

As Craig Mish first reported and others have subsequently confirmed, the positive tests came from two players.
