<p>DUNEDIN, Fla. &mdash; Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernández has tested positive for the coronavirus. </p>
<p>Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo announced the news before Tuesday night’s game against the New York Yankees. The positive result was discovered during testing on Tuesday. </p>
<p>Hernández went on the injured list last Friday after he was exposed to someone with a positive coronavirus case outside of the team.</p>
<p>Montoyo said Hernández started experiencing symptoms on Monday night. He has been away from the team since last Thursday.</p>
<p>“He has been in isolation since Friday," Montoyo said. “He’s going to have to stay out because of protocols for at least 10 days and that begins today."</p>
<p>Two other Toronto players missed time due to vaccination-related symptoms. A number of Blue Jays received shots last Thursday.</p>
<p>Left-hander Ryan Borucki had side effects, which included a fever and fatigue, and was sent home Friday. Left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. left after two innings in Friday night’s game with symptoms including nausea.</p>
<p>Both rejoined the team within a couple days.</p>
