Nine members of MLB’s New York Yankees who are vaccinated have tested positive for Covid with “breakthrough” infections.
The people who have tested positive include second baseman Gleyber Torres, pitching coach Matt Blake, third base coach Phil Nevin, first base coach Reggie Willits and five members of the Yankees’ traveling staff, the team said in a release.
“Fortunately, they’re all you know doing quite well,” Aaron Boone, Yankees manager, said Sunday.
Seven of the infected members are asymptomatic and two have mild symptoms.
“This is the vaccine working,” CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” Sunday. The fact that those who tested positive didn’t get a severe infection is a good sign, she said.
