Four Washington Nationals' players and eight staffers have tested positive for COVID-19, forcing Major League Baseball to postpone their game against the Phillies on Wednesday night. The postponement came one day after Nationals star Trea Turner exited the game against Philadelphia in the first inning following his positive test for the virus. Washington manager Dave Martinez said Turner was among four players who tested positive. He didn't identify the others. "I'm just worried about the guys, I really am,'' Martinez said. "It's been a tough go; this doesn't make it any easier.'' Martinez said all but one of those who tested positive have been vaccinated. Those who tested positive have either no symptoms or minor symptoms, such as a head cold, the manager said. Martinez believes the fact they are vaccinated has prevented or limited symptoms. "I encourage people to get vaccinated,'' Martinez said. "It does help. I'm seeing it firsthand. It's basically a small head cold, but they're doing fine.'' Sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan that a number of the breakthrough cases came from those given the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
