The Yankees send six player to the illjured list with COVID-19:

It was confirmed Thursday that New York Yankees pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr. and Wandy Peralta were positive COVID-19 cases, and ESPN reported Friday that All-Star Aaron Judge, third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Kyle Higashioka are also positive for the coronavirus. 

None of them will be taking the field anytime soon.

They are all expected to miss ten days. This makes it much tougher for the Yankees to come back in the AL East. These are not scrubs.

The question now is do the Yankees use this as an opportunity to trade and rebuild? This version of the team did not play up to expectations. It might be the time to be sellers and try to grab some talent for the future.
