Davey Martinez’s team has dealt with its share of adversity early this season, and the skipper of the 2019 World Series champions knows what the Washington Nationals are up against in a 2020 season that’s being conducted amidst an ongoing pandemic.
With a few positive tests on his own roster, a bunch of positive tests for COVID-19 on other teams, a four-day break for the club, and a number of early-season injuries in the rotation and among position players, Martinez is doing what he can to keep everyone healthy and sharp as the 60-game campaign starts up in earnest.
