The New York Mets have had their next two games postponed after two members of the team tested positive for COVID-19, MLB announced on Thursday.
The Mets were initially scheduled to face the Miami Marlins on Thursday, then begin a series against the New York Yankees on Friday, but will now focus on additional coronavirus testing and contact tracing.
The two members of the team to test positive were a player and staff member, according to Newsday’s Tim Healey.
The Mets later released a statement saying the team plans to fly back to New York from Miami on Thursday night, but without the two members who tested positive and anyone who has been traced to be in close contact with them.
