Cincinnati Reds infielder Matt Davidson has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Saturday.
Davidson was in the Reds’ lineup during their season-opening 7-1 victory against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. He served as the designated hitter and went hitless in two at-bats before being removed from the game.
Davidson’s COVID-19 test was taken before the game, making him the first known player to participate in a regular-season game while positive.
Now we segue to all of the obvious questions. Is it a false positive? Who did he sit next to?
