St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina revealed on social media Tuesday that he was one of the Cardinals to have actually tested favorable for the coronavirus.
” Good morning, I am distressed to have actually tested positive for COVID-19, even after following the prevention recommendations,” Molina, a nine-time All-Star, composed. “Ill do everything in my power to get back ASAP for Cardinals fans, St. Louis City and my teammates.
The Cardinals announced Tuesday that in addition to Molina, Paul DeJong, Edmundo Sosa, Rangel Ravelo, Junior Fernandez and Kodi Whitley tested positive. A seventh player appears to have not permitted to the team to launch his name.
” I will approach my healing as I do all other things in my life– with perseverance, education, and commitment,” DeJong stated in a declaration released by the team. “I eagerly anticipate re-joining the team soon and ask that you appreciate my privacy at this time.”.
MLB revealed Monday that 13 members of the Cardinals company– 7 players and six employee– had tested favorable for the coronavirus in the previous week, leading to the postponement of St. Louis series with the Detroit Tigers.
The Cardinals have actually played just 3 games this season and are hoping to return to action Friday hosting the Chicago Cubs.
As of now, the Cardinals who have checked favorable have returned house while the remainder of the group stays isolated in Milwaukee hotel rooms. Their last video game was July 29 at Minnesota.
