Citing an abundance of caution to allow for continued testing and contact tracing, the upcoming three-game series between the A's and Mariners that was scheduled to begin Tuesday has been postponed through Wednesday.

The postponement of the first two games of the series in Seattle will make it three games that have now been postponed for the A’s after learning that a member of the club’s traveling party tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday night following a doubleheader against the Astros at Minute Maid Park. The team conducted testing and contact tracing for the entire traveling party in line with MLB protocols, and all members of the A’s traveling party will remain at the team hotel in Houston through Monday night to await results.

The A's and MLB will continue to provide updates as necessary.

The A’s also had games postponed on Thursday and Friday as a form of protest over last week’s shooting of Jacob Blake by a police officer in Kenosha, Wis. They entered Monday sitting atop the American League West standings in first place with a record of 22-12.
