New York Yankees News: Statements from Masahiro Tanaka, Gleyber Torres, and Aaron Boone

For the New York Yankees, the first day of summer camp was going really well even though two Yankee players have tested positive for the coronavirus. The demeanor of the day turned quickly when Masahiro Tanaka was pitching to Giancarlo Stanton, Stanton hit a line drive that hit Tanaka in the head. Tanaka immediately fell to the ground in obvious pain. As he was hit you could hear a loud crack when the ball struck him.

He laid motionless for minutes before trainers helped him off the mound to the dugout. Stanton sat in the dugout stunned and concerned.
