Report: Some Cardinals Players Went to Casino Before COVID-19 Outbreak

Multiple St. Louis Cardinals players reportedly went to a casino before an outbreak of COVID-19 hit the organization, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

There are four Cardinals players and three staff members who have tested positive for the coronavirus, while updated tests results are reportedly "not good" with new positives expected, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. St. Louis was forced to postpone its entire series against the Milwaukee Bucks this past weekend.

Players had initially been discouraged from leaving their team hotels, but now, they are prohibited to leave after MLB tightened its rules, per Heyman.
