It’s 2022, but COVID is still finding ways to affect baseball … the MLB just announced the Cleveland Guardians’ game against the White Sox on Wednesday has been postponed due to a virus outbreak.
In a statement released just hours before the first pitch was scheduled to go down at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, the league said the game will not go on because of “multiple” positive COVID tests in the Guardians’ org.
This is the first time in the 2022 season that an MLB game has been postponed over coronavirus.
Unclear which players tested positive for the virus … but the Guardians did reveal prior to the game’s postponement that manager Terry Francona had contracted COVID.
MLB says Wednesday’s game will be rescheduled … though a makeup date has yet to be announced.
