Cubs concerned about possible virus outbreak

The Chicago Cubs are concerned about a possible COVID-19 outbreak after two coaches tested positive for the virus and three relievers were placed on the COVID-19-related injured list.

The team announced the positive test for bullpen coach Chris Young on Monday, with first base coach Craig Driver already away from the team after a positive test. Brandon Workman, Jason Adam and Dan Winkler were placed on the list and also will miss time.

Pausing play

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks asked to be removed from the lineup against Toronto after another killing of a Black man by police in Minnesota. The Twins, like the NBA’s Timberwolves and NHL’s Wild, postponed their game citing safety concerns.

“It’s hit Aaron particularly hard,” manager Aaron Boone said of Hicks, who is Black.
