KANSAS CITY — The Cardinals were operating shorthanded both on the field and in the training room Tuesday night against the Kansas City Royals as the organization was fighting a strain of COVID.
President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said one player and four club employees, three of them medical personnel, had tested positive for the virus. Mozeliak did not name the player but shortstop Edmundo Sosa was placed on the injured list, with no determination, and Juan Yepez, who homered for Memphis Tuesday morning in a game at home, was set to join the Cardinals Tuesday night, but not until after the game.
