The game scheduled for Friday between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Phillies in Philadelphia has been postponed, the team announced Wednesday.
The game has been rescheduled as part of a traditional double game on Saturday, starting at 3:07 pm ET. Sunday’s game will continue at the originally scheduled start time of 3:07 pm ET.
The game was supposed to be the Blue Jays’ first “home game,” although it will be played on the road while the Jays wait for the stadium in Buffalo to be ready. Canada would not let the Jays play in Toronto.
The Phillies had a second round of COVID-19 tests on Tuesday after an outbreak among the Miami Marlins, who played a weekend series in Philadelphia. No player or coach has tested positive, a source told ESPN, but a visiting clubhouse assistant did.
The Phillies were supposed to get the Yankees on Monday and Tuesday and play them in New York on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Instead, the Yankees plan to go to Baltimore to start a series against the Orioles on Wednesday.
