Detroit — The Tigers could become the latest team to have their season paused by the COVID-19 pandemic as Major League Baseball's already-shortened season appears possibly on the brink of collapse.
The St. Louis Cardinals, who are scheduled to play the Tigers four games from Monday through Thursday, are the latest MLB team dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak among players and staff.
According to multiple social-media reports Saturday morning, the latest round of testing for the Cardinals revealed several positive results. Former major-leaguer Trevor Plouffe said he heard at least four players tested positive; according to baseball writer Craig Mish, more than five players have tested positive.
