Yankees' Gary Sanchez: Tests positive for COVID-19
Manager Aaron Boone said the Yankees will place Sanchez on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday after he tested positive for the coronavirus via rapid test, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Boone provided the news of Sanchez's positive test just minutes after he was excluded from the Yankees' lineup released prior to Thursday's game against the Mariners. According to Kuty, Sanchez felt under the weather Wednesday and early Thursday before the positive test result emerged. The Yankees plan to confirm the result with a lab-based test, and if that also returns positive, Sanchez would have to remain on the IL for at least 10 days. The Yankees called up Rob Brantly from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Sanchez on the active roster and provide catching depth behind Kyle Higashioka.
