The New York Mets‘ road to a victory on Wednesday night has become even bumpier.
Washington Nationals star outfielder Juan Soto will be making his season debut at Nationals Park in D.C. This comes after Soto tested positive for COVID-19 prior to the team’s season-opener against the New York Yankees back on July 23. MLB then cleared Soto to play after the 21-year-old twice tested negative for the coronavirus, but D.C. health officials needed to then approve of his return.
According to Byron Kerr of MASN, Soto was a bit skeptical of his initial positive test.
