The Yankees aren’t out of the clear on another COVID-19 outbreak just yet.
Gary Sanchez became the third Yankee to test positive for the virus this week, joining Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery, manager Aaron Boone announced Thursday.
The 28-year-old Sanchez didn’t feel great leaving the stadium Wednesday night, according to Boone, and a rapid test Thursday came back positive.
The Yankees were awaiting the confirmation from a PCR test, but had Rob Brantly up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in time to begin a series against the Mariners.
