Coronavirus has made its way to another Yankees minor leaguer.
After 17-year-old pitcher Denny Larrondo was the first professional baseball player to test positive for COVID-19 on Friday, another minor leaguer in the organization has tested positive, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed.
The Yankees have quarantined their minor leaguers as they follow the direction of the department of health. After the first positive test, the team said Larrondo, who was then unidentified, was not in contact with anyone who would have been at the Yankees’ major league complex in Tampa or George M. Steinbrenner Field. The minor league complex was cleaned on Sunday and is shut down until March 25.
“We’ve had no other corona[virus] testing necessary at this time,” general manager Brian Cashman said Sunday. “Just like anybody, is that likely to stick? I would say no, it’s not likely to stick.”
