The Miami Marlins had their season put on pause earlier this week after 19 members of the organization tested positive for COVID-19 over the last seven days. That led to a domino effect throughout baseball, and with Friday's Cardinals-Brewers game postponed, MLB has had to postpone a total of 30 games due to positive tests.
In addition to the Cardinals and Brewers, the Marlins, Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees all had games postponed this week. The Yankees and Orioles were able to remain in action, playing two games against each other.
