Washington Nationals infielder Ryan Zimmerman and pitcher Joe Ross will not be playing the 2020 season, the team confirmed on Monday.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Mike Leake also has decided not to play this season, according to a statement from his agent.

The news comes a week after Major League Baseball announced its season will start next month, after the pandemic upended the original schedule.

“Ryan Zimmerman and Joe Ross have decided not to participate in the 2020 season for the personal health and safety of themselves and their loved ones,” Mike Rizzo, Nationals General Manager, said in a statement.

The news of these cases came a day after MLB announced the 2020 season will begin July 23 or 24 with a schedule to play 60 games.
