Mets-Nationals opening day game postponed due to positive COVID-19 test

Major League Baseball is already dealing with a postponed game due to a positive COVID-19 test as it was announced the season opener between the Washington Nationals and the New York Mets would be canceled, hours before the first pitch.

The brunt of the issue pertains to the Nationals as only its players have experienced a “positive test and related problems,” Mets Newsday reporter Tim Healey wrote in a Thursday tweet. The game was scheduled to take place Thursday evening at Nationals Park and was going to be broadcast on ESPN.
