General manager Mike Rizzo confirmed the positive result Thursday.

Rizzo said that Soto was asymptomatic and that no one else on the roster was deemed ineligible following contact tracing.

Soto needs two negative tests before he can return to the field.

"We've got to make our plans to play without Juan for an extended period of time," Rizzo said on a conference call.

The Nationals did not include Soto on their initial 30-man roster for the 2020 season, instead placing him on the COVID-19 injured list.

"We're going to have to learn how to adjust to these things. The team that does the best job of keeping their star players on the field and healthy has a better chance of winning."
