Friday's series opener between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals has been postponed after a St. Louis player tested positive for COVID-19, according to Major League Baseball.
The positive test marks the eighth Cardinals player to test positive for the coronavirus since last week.
MLB said the postponed game would allow for additional testing and contact tracing.
The Cardinals have not played since July 29 due to positive coronavirus tests. The team previously announced that it had returned 13 positive tests from its traveling party, with seven of them coming from players.
