The defending World Series champion Washington Nationals and New York Yankees will begin MLB's 2020 season on July 23, according to the New York Post's Joel Sherman and Andrew Marchand.
The Nationals and Yankees will reportedly be the "highlight" of the day in prime time with a potential matchup between three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer and new Yankee Gerrit Cole at Nationals Park. Opening Day reportedly will not include a full slate of games, per Sherman and Marchand.
The last time Cole and Scherzer faced off was in Game 1 of the 2019 World Series while Cole was with the Astros.
