Follow UsAaron Boone, manager of the New York Yankees, was ejected for the fifth time this season during Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, bringing his career total to 38 ejections. The ejection occurred after Boone disputed a call made by plate umpire Edwin Jiménez.
How it happened
The confrontation happened in the sixth inning when Alex Verdugo was called out on a full-count pitch from Colin Poche that appeared to be low. Boone’s objections from the dugout led to his removal before the seventh inning began, with the Yankees trailing 3-0.
Boone is no stranger to ejections, having led the league with nine in 2022 and matching the highest number with seven last year.
