ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Yankees’ COVID outbreak now includes a player.

Gleyber Torres was placed on the COVID-19 injured list after receiving the results of a positive test, the team announced before Thursday’s series finale against the Rays.

Miguel Andujar was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Torres’ spot on the roster.

Torres is the eighth member of the organization to test positive — all of them were fully vaccinated, making them “breakthrough positives.”

The shortstop also had COVID in December and like the rest of the affected Yankees, was feeling fine as of Thursday.

Other members of the organization to test positive during the current outbreak include third base coach Phil Nevin, first base coach Reggie Willits, pitching coach Matt Blake, as well as four unnamed members of the support staff.

The Yankees said all are under “quarantine protocol” in Tampa.

General manager Brian Cashman said there was some good news on Thursday: It was the first time since the outbreak began that the team received no new positives.

“It gives you a little optimism,’’ Cashman said. “It doesn’t guarantee anything, [but] maybe it’s slowing down in terms of exposure.”

And while there are many questions about how so many fully vaccinated people within the organization tested positive, the fact nearly the entire team is vaccinated meant those who did get COVID exhibited either very mild or no symptoms.

“I know maybe we are a case study to some degree,’’ Cashman said. “If this was happening prior to vaccination, we might be dealing with a different protocol. … This series was never in jeopardy based on the information we were given.’’

That’s because since the Yankees had reached the Major League Baseball threshold of 85 percent vaccination, those that might have been impacted by contact tracing are allowed to continue playing.

Another source added the Rays were not subject to more frequent testing because they were not considered close contacts.

Cashman noted the Yankees had a lengthy rain delay at the Stadium on Saturday, as well as a plane ride to Tampa following Sunday’s game that could have led to the spreading of the infection — especially among the coaches.

As for Torres, while the minimum stay on the COVID IL is 10 days, a source said the MLB joint committee reviews them on a case-by-case basis and if a fully vaccinated player is asymptomatic and receives multiple negative tests, it’s possible he could return before the 10 days are up.

Torres had been held out of Wednesday’s lineup, according to Boone, “out of an abundance of caution” while the team waited on test results.

Cashman added the Yankees had been in touch with the New York State Department of Health to assist in data sharing.

And the Centers for Disease Control continues to be in contact with MLB and discussing the Yankees’ situation.

Earlier Thursday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said the department is looking into the outbreak.

“With regard to the Yankees, we obviously need to learn more about that situation,” Walensky said, according to the AP. “We will look to more data from that report to understand what happened there. All of the real-world data we’ve seen that’s been in the published literature, large studies, in many different settings, have demonstrated that those vaccines are effective, have a high effectiveness against disease.”
