ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres, who was held out of Wednesday night's game out of "an abundance of caution," will not play in Thursday's series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, sources told ESPN.
The Yankees have confirmed seven cases of COVID-19 among their coaching and support staff, and manager Aaron Boone said the team was waiting for the MLB and MLB Players Association joint committee to review the results of Torres' testing.
"Essentially, the joint committee is waiting, because we've had so many tests done, waiting on some test results to still come back," Boone said before the Yankees' 1-0 victory over the Rays on Wednesday.
