This weekend’s series between the Cubs and the Cardinals in St. Louis has been cancelled after an additional two Cardinal players and a staff member have tested positive for COVID-19. In total, nine Cardinals players have tested positive for the corona virus since last week and the team has not played since July 29th. Assuming they can resume play on Monday, they will need to play 55 games in just 49 days in order to complete their 60 game schedule.
The Cubs will head back to Chicago tonight, and then likely hold work outs at Wrigley Field before resuming their schedule on Tuesday in Cleveland. They aren’t scheduled to return to St. Louis this year, so making up these games will likely include some combination of double headers at Wrigley and mutual off days, if the games are made up at all.
