After COVID-19-led postponement, Nats-Phils twin bill set Field Level Media 29 Jul 2021, 16:55 GMT+10 The Washington Nationals received some unsettling news Wednesday when four players and eight staff members tested positive for COVID-19. They're scheduled to play the host Philadelphia Phillies in a doubleheader Thursday, with the first game set for 12:05 p.m. Wednesday's game was postponed to allow for further testing and contact tracing. Trea Turner left Tuesday's game in the first inning and ultimately tested positive. "Some of the guys are asymptomatic, some are symptomatic," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "It's unfortunate this happened, but we've got to follow MLB protocols."
