While it’s unlikely baseball will be played in front of fans anytime soon, it’s possible the Dodgers could return to Dodger Stadium this summer.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Monday that California can slowly start reopening businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic that has seen a steadying of infection and death rates, but still has no vaccine. The decision to loosen restrictions on roughly 53 of California’s 58 counties could pave the way for baseball to return to Dodger Stadium this summer, albeit without fans in attendance.
