The New York Mets have contained their COVID-19 problem to keep it within the one player and staff member who contracted it. With their entire traveling party testing negative now, the Mets have to figure out when to return to action for the second half of the season.
Midpoint of the MLB season for some teams is today. Mets are 3.5 games behind the Braves in the NL East. Mets have the ninth-best winning percentage in the NL. Top eight make the playoffs.

Ideally, they can attempt to squeeze in a doubleheader on Monday with the New York Yankees.
