The rest of the season-opening series between the New York Mets and host Washington was postponed Friday to give the Nationals more time for follow-up COVID-19 testing and contact tracing.
Thursday’s opener at Nationals Park was postponed after at least three Washington players tested positive. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said a fourth player was a “likely positive.”
No makeup dates were announced for the three-game weekend series, including games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
