The team is conducting additional tests and contract tracing on the players and staff and will have a limited number of players on its active roster for Sunday night’s game against Amarillo at Riders Field in Frisco.
The Rangers and RoughRiders have consulted with MLB “throughout the process to insure that the health and safety of the players and staff are the primary consideration,” the club said in a release.
