Opens season on COVID IL The Nationals placed Gomes on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gomes is one of nine Nationals players on the 40-man roster who will begin the campaign on the IL as a result of the team's recent COVID-19 outbreak. Prior reports have suggested that only four of the players in question have been confirmed to have tested positive for the virus, but it's uncertain whether Gomes is one of the infected players or if he was merely a close contact. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, players that tested positive will be eligible to return after 10 days in quarantine, while those ruled out through contact tracing can return after a week. With Alex Avila joining Gomes on the COVID-19 IL to begin the season, the Nationals will be without both of their top two catchers. Jonathan Lucroy and Tres Barrera were both added to the Opening Day roster as replacements, and Lucroy is slated to catch Max Scherzer in Tuesday's season opener versus Atlanta, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.

Locked into top spot on depth chart Gomes has gone 7-for-22 (.318) through eight Grapefruit League games.
Impact The batting average looks nice on the surface, but Gomes doesn't have an extra-base hit and carries a 1:8 BB:K. Nevertheless, the 33-year-old will open the season as the Nats' No. 1 catcher, and backup Alex Avila (.200/.238/.400 this spring with a 1:9 BB:K) hasn't done much to push for Gomes' spot.
