Baseball is back!
One of the biggest changes the MLB adopted is the shortening of its regular season to just 60 games.
There are also some new rules, such as teams in the National League being able to use a designated hitter for the first time ever, and extra innings starting off with a runner on second base.
There will also be no in-person attendance for any games.
Players are tested for the coronavirus every other day and teams will not play games against other teams outside their geographical regions.
In the opening night double-header, the Washington Nationals will host the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants.
Tomorrow, the Tampa Bay Rays host the Toronto Blue Jays at Tropicana Field.
Pennsylvania’s Department of Health has rejected the Blue Jays bid to play their 30-game home schedule at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
