Manager Dave Martinez announced Sunday that two Washington Nationals players tested positive for COVID-19.
Martinez said the two players received their results before reporting to Nationals Park, so they have not yet been in contact with the rest of the team.
“It definitely hurts,” Martinez said. “One, you think about the player. Two, you think about if they have families, if they have kids, and hope that they’re all OK. And then hope that they become asymptomatic and they don’t get that virus that a lot of people did get and get really sick. Only time will tell with that when they get this virus.
