If we needed reminding, Saturday offered up evidence of just how difficult playing the 2020 season is going to be for Major League Baseball. The Atlanta Braves revealed that four players, including All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman and closer Will Smith, tested positive for COVID-19. Touki Toussaint and infielder Pete Kozma, who is in the group working out at Gwinnett, are the other Braves players with positive tests. Smith and Toussaint are asymptomatic but both Freeman and Kozma were reportedly feeling the effects. At this point, we can’t be sure when any of those players will be ready to return.
