Newcomer Anthony Rizzo has become the latest Yankees player to test positive for the coronavirus. Rizzo tested positive after Saturday's game, manager Aaron Boone said. Cole tested positive on Monday, Montgomery tested positive Tuesday and Sánchez was placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday. The outbreak occurred after the Yankees returned from playing six games against the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins in Florida, where COVID-19 cases are surging. Since the All-Star break, star outfielder Aaron Judge, third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Kyle Higashioka have tested positive along with relievers Wandy Peralta and Jonathan Loaisiga.
