A week ago, it appeared that J.T. Realmuto was on pace to lead off for the Philadelphia Phillies in their March 26 Opening Day tilt in Miami.

A lot has changed in the last week.

Last Thursday, COVID-19 forced MLB to suspend Spring Training and delay Opening Day, which had been scheduled to be on March 26, by at least two weeks. Monday, commissioner Rob Manfred acknowledged that April 9, two weeks after March 26, will not be Opening Day either.
