The Brewers had a COVID scare Wednesday as they prepared for their 2021 season opener.

President of Baseball Operations David Stearns told reporters the team did received word that there was a false positive test result early in the day.

At the time, they didn’t know it the test was positive or negative, so additional testing was done. Stearns did not names who had to be tested again, but those results came back negative.

Players Brandon Woodruff and Christian Yelich provided their reactions to reporters.

If a positive test result was found, that player would have to isolate from others for at least 10 days to receive care and monitoring by the team’s medical staff. They would need to be cleared by baseball’s joint COVID-19 committee and the team’s physician before returning to the team.

It’s a situation the Washington Nationals are dealing with, after a positive test result has forced five players and a staff member to miss their Opening Day game Thursday.

COVID forced the Brewers’ home opener for the pandemic-shortened 2020 season to be pushed back after positive cases occurred in the St. Louis Cardinal organization. This caused the full three game series to be postponed.
