Entrenador de los New York Yankees suspendido hoy tras hacer una declaración irrespetuosa hacia

The Yankees were allowed to return to baseball on Friday, but without two of their best players. Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela, along with the backup catcher Kyle Higashioka, were placed on the Covid-19 injured list after testing positive for the coronavirus. All are expected to miss at least 10 days.

While many of the positive tests among Yankees players and staff this season have been so-called breakthrough cases, where a player who was vaccinated tested positive, the team said that was not the case for all of Friday’s positive tests, meaning at least one of the players was not vaccinated. But the Yankees did not identify which players were, or weren’t, vaccinated.

Judge, one of the most popular Yankee players, was at Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Denver, and was near many of the game’s biggest stars, igniting concern that the game’s best players may have been exposed. Five Red Sox All-Stars shared a clubhouse with Judge, but all five were active on Friday. The three position players among that group, Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez, were all in Boston’s starting lineup.

Officials with other teams, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, have been following up with Judge’s close contacts at the All-Star festivities and have been conducting testing where appropriate. As of Friday afternoon, no other players outside of the six Yankees were placed on the Covid-19 list.
