We can confirm that a second Minor League player from our player development complex has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. While under self-quarantine, the player reported fatigue and an elevated body temperature to Yankees medical personnel. The test was administered on Sunday, and the player returned to self-quarantine following the positive results. We can also report that within the past 48 hours his symptoms have dissipated.
We will continue to follow all protocols and recommendations established by local and federal public health experts and Major League Baseball.
