Unidentified Mets Player 'Recovering' After Testing Positive for COVID-19

An unnamed player on the New York Mets' 40-man roster has tested positive for COVID-19, per comments general manager Brodie Van Wagenen made to reporters Monday.

"I don't want to get into the specifics of it, but he's tested positive, he is recovering and we feel like he's in a good position [of being ready for the season]," Van Wagenen said, per Scott Thompson of SNY.tv.

"We'll wait and see once we get everybody here in camp."

Van Wagenen did not say whether the player will land on the "COVID-19 Related Injured List" that Major League Baseball instituted for this season.
