Davey Martinez announced before last night’s game that one member of the Washington Nationals’ roster tested positive for COVID-19, and another player was identified, through contact tracing, as having been in close contact with the positive player.
No names were announced initially, but shortly after Martinez’s statement, Erick Fedde and Tanner Rainey were both placed on the Injured List.
The club is still in Chicago for the series with the Cubs in Wrigley Field, but they were just out in Arizona for three with the Diamondbacks over the weekend, so after learning about the positive test, they were in contact with both teams.
