Sunday afternoon's Oakland Athletics-Houston Astros game at Minute Maid Park was postponed after a member of the A's organization tested positive for the coronavirus.

The person's role with the club (players, coach or staff member) was not disclosed.

"Following a positive test for COVID-19 in the Oakland Athletics' organization, today's scheduled game between the A's and the host Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park has been postponed out of an abundance of caution and to allow for additional testing and contact tracing to be conducted," Major League Baseball said in a statement. "Major League Baseball will continue to provide updates as necessary."

The Los Angeles Dodgers set the National League record for home runs in a month with 57 in August.

Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager and Will Smith each hit homers as the Dodgers beat the Texas Rangers on Sunday.

The Atlanta Braves held the previous record with 56 in June 2019.

Dave Roberts didn't seem interested in an asterisk for the record because the NL is using the designated hitter for the first time in the pandemic-shortened season.

"It's still a record," Roberts said. "It's just a byproduct of swinging at good pitches. I don't know how well the ball is carrying compared to the last couple of years, but it's amazing to see the talent that we have in our lineup."

The San Diego Padres picked up slugger hitter Mitch Moreland in a trade Sunday with Boston.

The pitcher and Dexter Fowler sat out Wednesday's game in solidarity with other players around Major League Baseball.

"I appreciated being included, but that was Dex's way of -- I don't want to speak for him, but it was just about supporting everybody and to make that statement of not playing yesterday," Flaherty said. "A lot of trying to gather thoughts and trying to gather feelings and emotions."

Flaherty said he didn't expect the team to not play Wednesday night because his and Fowler's decision happened so close to first pitch.

"I said, 'Look, you've got 20 minutes before the game,'" he said. "I love our guys for going out and playing and winning. And they texted us right afterward. This ain't about me right now. I said, 'Dex needs your support. I don't want him to feel like he's on an island. I'm not choosing to not play because I don't have to make that decision tonight. He knows you guys support him and, but just let him know.' I'm proud of the way that they went out and played the game and the way that they battled back, and they're going to go out there and play today."
