Oakland A’s report positive test for coronavirus, Sunday game postponed

The Oakland A’s reported a positive coronavirus test on Sunday, and their afternoon game against the Houston Astros has been postponed.

The A’s and Astros have an off-day Monday, but the game will not be made up at that time, reports insider Brian McTaggart. They still have one more series together this season, in Oakland from Sept. 7-10.

A’s general manager David Forst says the club learned about the positive test Saturday night just before 10 p.m., reports Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle. The test that yielded a positive result was taken on Friday, per Brodie Brazil of NBCS.
