After four days off from regular season games, the Washington Nationals return to action later tonight against National League East foes in the New York Mets.
The break was anything but welcome. It came under troubling circumstances as a wave of positive coronavirus tests for the Miami Marlins added weight to the argument that the 2020 Major League Baseball season carries too much risk in its current setup.
For now, MLB plans to continue. And for as long as there is baseball, Nats fans will at least get to enjoy one simple pleasure this week as Juan Soto is set to return to the team.
