The New York Yankees continue to deal with what Brian Cashman called an \"aggressive\" COVID-19 variant.
Gleyber Torres will be sidelined for at least 10 days after testing positive.
The Yankees have confirmed eight cases of COVID-19 this week, with Torres being the first player to test positive.
\"The variant that we\'re dealing with has been pretty aggressive. But thankfully, the information I\'ve been provided is the benefit that we have been vaccinated in most cases has really taken root,\" Cashman said. \"I take a lot of great comfort that that\'s the purpose of the vaccine, to protect. And it appears to be doing that, despite still having the ability to spread, which we were educated with that prior to the vaccination.\"
