Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association announced on Friday that, in the past week of testing, four positive COVID-19 results were returned out of 12,301 samples collected.

Two of those positive results came from players and two came from staff members.

All four positive results came from a single MLB team, while the other 29 clubs did not return any positive tests.

News of these results comes as the St. Louis Cardinals — a team mired by positive COVID-19 tests — announced they are set to return to the diamond on Saturday for the first time since July 29.
