The series between the Cardinals and Cubs at Busch Stadium this weekend has been postponed due to three more positive COVID-19 tests for St. Louis.
#STLCards have 3 new positives, two players: Ryan Helsley and Austin Dean.

The latest positive tests belong to Ryan Helsley, Austin Dean and a staff member, bringing the team’s total to 16 cases; in total, nine players and seven staff members infected.
The Cardinals won’t play a game until Monday, at the earliest. Nevertheless, Monday doesn't look too promising.
The big takeaway from Mozeliak just now: he really has no idea when the #Cardinals will play again.
