Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole was scheduled to pitch against the Orioles on Tuesday, but he was scratched after testing positive for COVID-19. According to manager Aaron Boone, no one else on the team has been affected, and he said it has yet to be determined if the club will ramp up testing.
“Whoever is going to open the game tomorrow, whether we call somebody up, we have to find a way to turn the page and keep fighting,” catcher Gary Sánchez said through interpreter Marlon Abreu. “We understand the task that we have … just keep moving forward, keep fighting and do the best we can out there.”
