(Reuters) - Two games between the San Diego
Padres and San Francisco Giants at Petco Park have been
postponed after a member of the Giants organization tested
positive for COVID-19, Major League Baseball (MLB) said on
Friday.
The two teams had lined up for the national anthem ahead of
Friday night's game but neither took to the field, following
which the Padres announced that the game had been postponed.
"Following a positive test for COVID-19 in the San Francisco
Giants' organization, tonight's and tomorrow's scheduled games
have been postponed out of an abundance of caution and to allow
for additional testing and contact tracing," MLB said in a
statement.
The league said it would provide updates as and when necessary.
The Padres and the Giants are scheduled to face each other at
Oracle Park from Sept. 25-27 in their final series of the
season.
