The postponement of the game will allow for continued testing and contact tracing involving members of the Twins organization.
A member of the Twins’ traveling party tested positive for COVID-19 before the game on Friday, but they still played. Following the game, Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said that a few members of the group will remain away from the stadium and at the hotel for the next few days.
Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said a staff member and two players have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last two days, plus Andrelton Simmons earlier this week. Kyle Garlick is one of the new positives, Baldelli said.
