Things are quickly going from bad to worse for the Brewers. Jonathan Lucroy had to exit tonight’s game against the Reds after taking a foul tip off his foot and Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports that he was diagnosed with a broken left toe.

No word on how long Lucroy will be sidelined, but this is brutal news for a team who currently has the worst record in the majors at 2-11 and is already missing star center fielder Carlos Gomez due to a hamstring injury.

The Brewers figure to rely on a combination Martin Maldonado and Juan Centeno behind the plate for now. That’s a big downgrade from Lucroy’s All-Star production.

Doubleheader between Cardinals and Tigers postponed

A doubleheader between the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers this week is being postponed to allow more time for additional COVID-19 testing.

MLB opted to postpone Thursday’s doubleheader to continue additional testing while players and staff are quarantined before the team returns to play. More details about the Cardinals’ resumption of play will be announced later this week.

The Cardinals had a series against Pittsburgh set to start on Monday postponed after a weekend series against the Cubs was scrapped due to three positive coronavirus tests.

St. Louis had two more players and a staff member test positive for the virus on Friday and have had eight positive players overall, including star catcher Yadier Molina.

There have now been 29 games postponed by Major League Baseball because of coronavirus concerns. The Cardinals have not played since July 30 and have had 15 games scrapped.

Miami and Philadelphia each had seven games postponed earlier and have returned to the field since the disruptions.
