Around the Empire: Yankees news - 3/19/20

New York Daily News | Kristie Ackert: The Yankees have two minor league players who tested positive for the COVID-19 strand of the coronavirus, which has shut down minor league camp. However, while some team personnel went home, such as Aaron Boone, other players have stayed in Tampa, including DJ LeMahieu and Giancarlo Stanton. MLB has discouraged large group workouts, but the Yankees say there is no trace between the minor leaguers and the facility the team uses for big league camp. On a lighter note, hitting coach Marcus Thames acknowledged that the team is now wearing latex gloves in addition to batting gloves.
