Citi Field
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball has postponed this weekend’s Subway Series to allow time for more testing and contact tracing after two members of the New York Mets tested positive for the coronavirus. The Mets had their game Thursday night at Miami as well as Friday’s opener against the Yankees postponed on Thursday after the results were reported. MLB postponed the entire weekend series between the New York teams on Friday “out of an abundance of caution and to allow for additional testing and contact tracing.” The Mets flew home Thursday night and are in New York. The two who tested positive remained in Miami.
From the Mets: They have no workouts scheduled through the weekend.

To this point, no more Mets have tested positive beyond the original two. They will keep being tested but this is very good news as the previous two teams that had more than one positive both ended up with outbreaks.
