The only professional sports game on Thursday was the New York Yankees against the Boston Red Sox– and it was postponed due to some positive COVID-19 tests inside the Yankees organization. Rumors floated around about which one of the Yankees tested positive, and it seems we got the answer. MLB Insider Jeff Passan reported that Aaron Judge was one of the positives, and also mentioned that Friday's game is set to take place.

Six positive tests are a lot, and with more tests slated for Friday, anything can happen. There is also a concern about the All-Star Game participants since Judge was around all of them during the festivities.

A brutal blow for the MLB as things were just starting to turn the corner regarding the virus and it felt as if things had settled down in that regard. Now six positive, Thursday's game postponed, and more questions surrounding the state of the MLB and how to handle the COVID-19.

The loss of Judge for any amount of time will be tough for the Yankees, especially as they try anything and everything to make up some ground in the American League East. The Yankees have also been rumored to have interest in Joey Gallo, and there could be a trade coming the Yankees way sometime soon.

Things can drastically change before game time, but all signs are pointing to it going through.
