MLB teams that could make the postseason are required to start quarantining on Sept. 22 to reduce COVID-19 risk. New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is hoping he’s locked in for the next month or so, even though it would separate him from his family.
“It was bye to wife and mother-in-law and kids, you know, hopefully for a little while,” Boone told Associated Press reporter Scott Orgera on Thursday.
The third-year skipper was headed to Boston to start a seven-game road trip when he made the comment. Upon returning to the Bronx, the Yankees will remain in a hotel until the regular season ends on Sept.
