The New York Yankees held a moment of silence prior to Monday’s game for Rachel Minaya, wife of team executive Omar Minaya, who died over the weekend at age 55.
Rachel Minaya was found dead Saturday in the New Jersey home she shared with Omar Minaya, though he was not at home at the time, according to the New York Post.
A cause of death has not been revealed, though suicide was ruled out, per the report. The Minayas have two adult sons, Justin and Teddy. The Minayas were married for more than 30 years, per the report.
