The first two games of the Giants' weekend series against the Padres, set to begin Friday in San Diego, were postponed after a member of the San Francisco organization tested positive for COVID-19. Major League Baseball made the announcement, indicating that the postponements will allow for additional testing and contact tracing to take place. The schedued Friday and Saturday games won't be played, with no makeup dates immediately announced.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that a San Francisco player tested positive, but neither team nor MLB indicated whether it was a player, coach or staff member who had caused the shutdown. The Padres (29-17) and Giants (23-22) are both in contention for a spot in the expanded playoff field in the National League this season.

The third game in the three-game series is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. --Field Level Media
