Report: Reds Player Tests Positive for COVID-19


An unknown Cincinnati Reds player has tested positive for COVID-19, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The status of future Reds games is unclear.

A player from the Cincinnati Reds has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

The Reds defeated the Pirates, 8-1, on Friday. The status of the rest of the weekend series is not yet known.

MLB has already had to deal with outbreaks on the Cardinals and Marlins that have caused drastic alterations to the league's schedule. The Cardinals have played just five games this season, and have not taken the field since July 29. St. Louis is set to resume play with a doubleheader on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. 

Now it appears just as the league was set to welcome one club back to the field, another may be facing a rash of postponements.

Reds first baseman Matt Davidson tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this season but has since recovered. He returned from the injured list on July 31 and has appeared in nine games this season.
