New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss his scheduled start on Tuesday, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone following the Yankees 7-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday.
“As of now he is the only one,” Boone said (h/t ESPN).
“Definitely, it’s tough. It’s been a tough year. We got this news with Cole and definitely a low blow there,” Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez said, via an interpreter.
Cole, 30, is 10-6 with a 3.11 ERA in 21 starts this season for the Yankees. The Yankees season will be the talk among sports talk podcasts in New York City, and around the world as well. But, you will also want to tune into sports content creators to get some additional insight and analysis.
