Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said the 29-year-old American left-fielder began developing mild symptoms on Monday and alerted team officials. A team flight to Pittsburgh for a series to start on Tuesday was delayed so players and staff could undergo testing and contact tracing, which led to second baseman Jace Peterson being placed on the Covid list under contact tracing rules.
