No makeup date has been announced yet. MLB has the right to postpone games per the revised Covid protocols, and if three or more players test positive, all players must wear a mask at all times until the team goes five consecutive days without a new positive test. More games may be in jeopardy, so fantasy managers should make adjustments to account for Wednesday's game and keep an eye on it.
