Wednesday May 11 -  CLE at WSX game -  postponed  -   COVID - 19.    UH-OH !  

I just got home from a doctor's appointment and found this out.  Saw -postponed-  on tv  and thought weather  ??  Not COVID-19. 

CHICAGO -- Wednesday’s series finale between the Guardians and White Sox has been postponed because of multiple positive COVID-19 tests among the Guardians’ traveling party.

The first news of the outbreak came when it was announced that manager Terry Francona tested positive and would not be able to manage Wednesday’s game. Also testing positive are bench coach DeMarlo Hale and other uniform personnel and traveling support staff. It was originally announced that Hale, the bench coach, would replace Francona to manage Wednesday’s game.

As of Tuesday morning, no Guardians players had been tested. Unless they show symptoms of COVID it’s unlikely they will be.

MLB announced the postponement this way:

“Following multiple positive COVID-19 tests within the Cleveland Guardians organization, their afternoon road game today vs. the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field has been postponed to allow for continued testing and contact tracing. Major League Baseball will provide a rescheduling update when it becomes available.”

Before Francona’s positive test was announced, the Guardians held a meeting about re-instituting their mask policy. It is known that a member of the traveling party was ill on Tuesday night and left the ballpark.
