The Brewers were originally scheduled to play the Cardinals in a three-game weekend series, starting with a 1:10 p.m. game Friday.
However, Friday's home opener game was postponed to Sunday after Major League Baseball officials confirmed two members of the St. Louis Cardinals organization tested positive for coronavirus.
The teams are scheduled to play a makeup doubleheader Sunday afternoon but in light of the new positive tests, a postponement is likely to happen.
