The upcoming series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates, originally scheduled for Aug. 10-12, has been postponed, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Cardinals have not played a game since July 29 in Minnesota, as nine players and seven staff members have tested positive for COVID-19. The outbreak has caused multiple infected team members to go to the emergency room to deal with symptoms, per Katherine Acquavella of CBS Sports.
To help prevent future outbreaks that cause teams to be sidelined for weeks at a time, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred sent a memo to all 30 teams earlier in the week informing them of updates to the league's health and safety protocols.
