NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not make his scheduled start Tuesday, the latest virus setback for the team. New York manager Aaron Boone made the announcement after Monday night’s 7-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Earlier this month, star slugger Aaron Judge was among six Yankees players who tested positive for coronavirus. We got this news with Cole and definitely a low blow there,“ Yankees catcher Gary Sánchez said through an interpreter. The Yankees’ first game after the All-Star break on July 15 against Boston was postponed because of their virus outbreak.
