Prior to Wednesday's game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, manager Aaron Boone confirmed that seven Yankees staff members had tested positive for COVID-19.
The Yankees planned to take the field despite the outbreak.
Among the staff members who tested positive are third base coach Phil Nevin, first base coach Reggie Willits and pitching coach Matt Blake. Blake's positive test was confirmed on Wednesday after the Yankees announced Nevin and Willits' status on Tuesday. The other four who tested positive are members of the Yankees support staff.
