Yankees have no new COVID-19 cases, but injuries mount

BALTIMORE (AP) — The New York Yankees didn’t have any new positive tests for COVID-19 to add to their eight cases already, manager Aaron Boone said before the series opener at Baltimore. The Yankees, however, are dealing with other injuries. Center fielder Aaron Hicks had an MRI that revealed a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist. Boone said the team will try to treat the injury with medicine, and if that goes well, Hicks could be available this weekend. Hicks could require surgery if the medicine is not effective. Slugger Giancarlo Stanton was scratched with left quad tightness less than an hour before the first pitch. His status for the rest of the series is uncertain.
