The New York Yankees have now had eight players and staff members test positive for coronavirus this week despite being vaccinated, leading to quarantines and drawing an investigation by the state health department.

The infected Yankee personnel -- all fully inoculated -- included shortstop Gleyber Torres, who also had the virus during the offseason, the team said in a statement Thursday.
