Twins-Angels postponed due to Twins COVID issues

Saturday night’s scheduled game between the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins at Angel Stadium has been postponed to allow for continued testing and contact tracing involving members of the Twins organization.

At least one Twins player had a positive COVID-19 test on Saturday, according to The Athletic.

Twins shortstop Andrelton Simmons tested positive and was placed on the COVID list Wednesday, forcing him to miss the team’s road trip.

A Twins staff member tested positive Friday, forcing a group of other staff into contact-tracing quarantines, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

There was no immediate word on a makeup date, or whether the teams would play Sunday.
