As first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan and subsequently confirmed by several other outlets, a Yankees minor league player has tested positive for coronavirus. He is the first known case in MLB or MiLB, though it’s entirely possible there have been others who simply haven’t been tested. The unnamed player has been under quarantine since Friday, when he began running a fever.
The Yankees player who tested positive for coronavirus was only on the minor league side of the team's facility in Tampa. Still, as we're learning about coronavirus' ability to spread, that distance alone does not necessarily protect those who are nearby from contracting it.
