The COVID-19 pandemic finally caught up to the Cubs, who had their weekend series against the Cardinals postponed Friday after the Cardinals' coronavirus outbreak worsened by at least one positive test before the teams were scheduled to open a three-game series in St. Louis on Friday night.
The Cardinals, who haven't played since last week because of an outbreak that now includes at least 14 players and staff, scrambled to test and retest personnel Friday as Major League Baseball wiped another series off their schedule.
The Cubs, who have not had a player test positive since intake testing began more than a month ago, had not lost a game on their scheduled because of coronavirus issues.
