According to a tweet from Mark Saxon, the St. Louis Cardinals are not traveling to Detroit, where they were scheduled to play four games from Tuesday through Thursday against the Tigers.
Though no official report has come out, some are saying that some Cardinals players came down with COVID-19 after going to a casino.
Source: the #STLCards are not going to Detroit, which was to be their next destination. That means they likely will have to make up at least seven games.
