WASHINGTON – For the first time since March, baseball activities are taking place on the Nationals’ side of the FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach that the club shares with the Houston Astros.
“From a baseball workout perspective, that is the case,” Mark Scialabba, assistant general manager, player development, told Federal Baseball on Thursday from Florida.
Instructional League began Saturday with the first game set for October 6 against the Marlins.
With an eye on safety amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the Nationals will only play one other organization, according to Scialabba.
