Overview
- The ejections occurred on Wednesday after a strikeout–throw-out double play when the Yankees' bid to challenge José Caballero’s out at second was denied as too late.
- Home plate umpire and crew chief Doug Eddings led the ruling that ended the replay attempt and first ejected bench coach Brad Ausmus before tossing manager Aaron Boone for arguing.
- Boone’s removal was his third ejection of the season and 49th of his career, while Ausmus received his first ejection of the year.
- After both men were sent from the game, Tanner Swanson, the club’s director of catching and major league field coordinator, took over on-field managerial duties.
- The incident follows an earlier dispute this week with the same umpiring crew over a refused ABS challenge for Jasson Domínguez and comes during a prolonged Yankees offensive slump that has heightened frustration in the dugout.
