WASHINGTON -- The Opening Day game between the Washington Nationals and New York Mets was postponed hours before it was scheduled to begin Thursday night because of coronavirus concerns after at least three of the 2019 World Series champions' players tested positive for COVID-19.
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said in a video conference with reporters that his team also has a fourth player considered a "likely positive." He did not identify any of the players involved.
"For the most part, the whole team has been -- we put them -- in lockdown and they're self-quarantining," Rizzo said.
