BALTIMORE — Another day, another potential schedule change for the Yankees.
The Phillies announced Thursday that a coach and home clubhouse attendant tested positive for COVID-19 and they canceled a workout at their home park and put the Yankees’ schedule next week in flux once again.
The Phillies, who played the Marlins in Philadelphia over the weekend, were scheduled to play the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park this weekend, but those games have been postponed and the league said in a statement it would “coordinate with health experts and the Major League Baseball Players Association in planning for the Phillies’ resumption of play.”
The Yankees had been slated to play the Phillies this week before Philadelphia had its season paused. Instead, they shifted to a two-game series against the Orioles in Baltimore.
The Yankees are scheduled to play the Red Sox in The Bronx starting Friday. Beyond that, Aaron Boone is unsure of what his team — which beat the Orioles 8-6 on Thursday — will do.
“I don’t really know anything,’’ Boone said. “Does that impact next week? I guess in some ways it could. I’ve gotten no directive from anyone. The league probably doesn’t know how next week is gonna unfold. Our focus is here right now and then home against the Red Sox.”
