Yanks’ Chapman tests positive for COVID-19
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has tested positive for the coronavirus and is experiencing mild symptoms. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Chapman “overall is doing well” but “will not be here for the foreseeable future.”
The AL East champions are scheduled to start the virus-delayed season on July 23 against the Nationals.
Chapman threw a bullpen session Tuesday, and Boone wouldn’t comment on whether the left-hander had been at Yankee Stadium since. Boone said the team had done contact tracing, and no other players or personnel would be forced to isolate because of Chapman’s positive test.
