7 Yankees Staff Members Have Tested Positive for COVID-19, Aaron Boone Says

Seven members of the New York Yankees staff have tested positive for COVID-19.

Manager Aaron Boone told reporters Wednesday that six of the people in question are asymptomatic. He also confirmed Gleyber Torres will be out of the lineup Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays as a precautionary measure.

Gleyber Torres out of the lineup tonight, has to do with awaiting test results and acting out of "an abundance of caution,'' says Boone, but could possibly be cleared to play tonight. Torres had COVID this past winter. Boone "can't comment'' on why Torres is being held out.
