A second member of the New York Yankees‘ starting rotation has tested positive for COVID-19.
Left-hander Jordan Montgomery tested positive for the virus, manager Aaron Boone announced Tuesday. The news comes a day after the team said ace Gerrit Cole had tested positive.
Boone said “as of now” it’s the just the two pitchers who have tested positive and no other players will be unavailable due to contact tracing.
Both Montgomery and Cole will likely be sidelined at least 10 days from the date of their positive test under MLB’s protocols.
Earlier this month, star slugger Aaron Judge was among six Yankees players who tested positive for coronavirus.
Montgomery, 28, is 4-5 with a 3.69 ERA in 21 starts this season.
