MLB postpones Reds-Royals on Tuesday, teams will play doubleheader Wednesday
The Cincinnati Reds will have to wait another day to resume their season. MLB has postponed Tuesday’s game against the Kansas City Royals. The teams will play a doubleheader Wednesday, the league announced.
The Reds are looking to continue their season after two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates were postponed due to a Reds player testing positive for the coronavirus. The Reds have reportedly tested negative since that positive test, and MLB felt comfortable enough to send the team to Kansas City on Tuesday.
Despite that, MLB is postponing the game, “out of an abundance of caution and to allow for additional testing,” according to a league statement.
