The New York Mets won't have to look far Tuesday afternoon to find people who understand exactly what they've been through and what they're beginning to embark upon.
The Mets are scheduled to resume play when they host the Miami Marlins in a doubleheader between the National League East rivals.
The Marlins beat the host Washington Nationals 11-8 on Monday night. The Mets haven't played since Wednesday, when they edged the host Marlins 5-3.
The Mets had their next four scheduled games postponed after a player and coach tested positive for the coronavirus. Included in that stretch was last Thursday's series finale against Miami, which will be made up in Tuesday's nightcap with the Marlins as the "home" team.
