Red Sox-Yankees playing Friday with no new COVID-19 cases

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will play Friday night after further testing and contact tracing revealed no other positive COVID-19 cases, the Yankees announced.

Thursday's game was postponed after six Yankees players entered into COVID-19 health and safety protocols. That game will be made up in a doubleheader on Aug. 17.

All six players from New York tested positive ahead of Thursday night's postponement. As a result, Aaron Judge, Gio Urshela, Kyle Higashioka, Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr., and Wandy Peralta will all be on the COVID-19 injured list, Jeff Passan of ESPN notes.

Peralta and Cortes were already placed on the COVID-19 IL Thursday, while Loaisiga landed on the list last week.

Barring false positives, all six Yankees players are required to quarantine for 10 days, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Loaisiga will be eligible to return sooner, but the others wouldn't be available until just before the July 30 trade deadline.

Five Red Sox players at this year's All-Star Game - Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, Nathan Eovaldi, and Matt Barnes - shared a clubhouse with Judge and were reportedly undergoing additional COVID-19 testing as a result of being in close proximity to the Yankees slugger.
