Dodgers News: Justin Turner Believes Return Of MLB, Sports Would Provide Morale Boost

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has drastically changed everyday life, with many states currently under a stay-at-home order in effort to slow the spread and flatten the curve.

As a result, the sports world has essentially been shut down for the foreseeable future. The NBA made the difficult decision last month to suspend its regular season, and soon followed the NHL, MLS and Major League Baseball.

For MLB, that led to all remaining Spring Training games being cancelled and an indefinite delay to the start of the 2020 campaign. Opening Day, originally scheduled for March 26, was pushed back by a minimum of eight weeks — meaning play can not resume until mid-May at the earliest.
