Reds-Royals Game Postponed, to Play Doubleheader Wednesday
Tuesday's game between the Reds and Royals has been rescheduled as part of a doubleheader on Wednesday, despite no additional Cincinnati players testing positive for the coronavirus this week.
The Reds announced the schedule change, saying it was made "out of an abundance of caution and to allow for additional testing." The doubleheader at Kauffman Stadium will start at 5:05 p.m. ET.
Following their scheduled off day Monday, the Reds flew to Kansas City Tuesday morning to prepare for their upcoming games. On Monday, The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans reported that if the club was cleared to play Tuesday, it could possibly be missing multiple players as a result of contact tracing.
