The New York Yankees now have a position to fill, that of second base. With DJ LeMahieu last year’s MVP second-baseman testing positive for the coronavirus. According to the health protocol, he must now quarantine for two weeks, then test negative twice, two days apart before he can rejoin the team. Many that have recovered from the virus remain weak for some time, making it unlikely that he will be up to the stress of the regular season, at least at the start.
The Yankees do have options, with each one creating a new position to fill.
