New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has tested positive for COVID-19, manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday.
Boone said Rizzo, who turned 32 on Sunday, is experiencing some symptoms and he was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list.
Rizzo joins catcher Gary Sanchez and starting pitchers Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery as Yankees players to recently test positive for the virus.
Players that test positive for COVID-19 are sidelined for a minimum of 10 days before they are allowed to return, per MLB's protocols.
First baseman Luke Voit was activated from the injured list Sunday and replaced Rizzo in the lineup for the series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Voit had been sidelined by left knee inflammation.
Rizzo, acquired by the Yankees from the Chicago Cubs before the trade deadline, is hitting .281 with three home runs and six RBIs in nine games since joining New York.
Rizzo, a cancer survivor, said in June while with the Cubs that he wanted to see more "data" before deciding whether to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
