Schedule Change: Phillies Will Not Play on Friday Night
Published:
Update here from Ken Rosenthal and Jayson Stark:
Players have been told that if they were exposed to the virus by playing the Marlins, those positive tests would show up between Thursday and Saturday. So this makes sense. https://t.co/9pTv5jWzyV

Confirmed by Andrew McCutchen, who yesterday explained that he goes to Twitter for updates since media members end up with information before the players do. MLB apparently tells the teams absolutely nothing.
This is a minor annoyance, since it would have been nice to see the Phillies play again on Friday night, but if you planned to sit around on your butt this Saturday, you can now watch two Phils games and a Sixers game. Get a case of Budweiser Zero and make yourself comfortable.
