Yadier Molina and Paul DeJong are two of the seven Cardinals players who tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced today. The Cardinals said they received permission from six of the seven players to release the information that they had tested positive. The others are Junior Fernandez, Rangel Ravelo, Edmundo Sosa and Kodi Whitley. The Cardinals also announced today that there were no new positive tests in the results received this morning. If there are no new positive tests on Wednesday the team will be cleared to leave Milwaukee.

Six staff members also tested positive. Of the 13, John Mozeliak said five are asymptomatic and eight have shown "mild" symptoms, all of which developed after they tested positive. All 13 have returned to their homes in St. Louis via car.

After losing on a goal with one-tenth of a second to play on Sunday night in their first game of a round-robin qualifying round, the Blues will be off until Thursday, when they will play the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL hub in Edmonton. The three round-robin games will determine seeding for the first round of the playoffs.
