Angels postpone workouts after coronavirus testing delays

The very first weekend of MLB summer camps proved to be a logistical nightmare, with the Angels one of a handful of teams having issues with the timeliness or availability of coronavirus tests, per multiple reports.

Monday’s workouts at Angel Stadium were originally set to begin at 9 a.m., though were postponed first to noon, and then 1 p.m. because of delays in testing.

From Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times:

Sample collectors did not show up at Angel Stadium or Blair Field, on Sunday, prompting players to administer their own tests, which the team then shipped to Major League Baseball’s testing lab in Utah, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to comment.
