Baseball-Nationals' home opener postponed due to COVID-19 issues

The Washington Nationals' home opener against the New York Mets scheduled to be played on Thursday has been postponed due to COVID-19 issues, Major League Baseball said.

The decision was made a day after the Nationals said one of their players tested positive for COVID-19 while four others and a staff member were in quarantine following contact tracing. MLB said the game will be played on Friday.
