Boone Ejected After Disputed Varsho Catch at Yankee Stadium

The incident underscored limits of replay reviews, reviving a seven-year rivalry between Boone and second‑base umpire Brennan Miller.

Overview

  • Aaron Boone was ejected by second‑base umpire Brennan Miller after he loudly disputed a diving catch by Daulton Varsho during Tuesday's YankeesBlue Jays game at Yankee Stadium.
  • The Yankees had already lost a replay challenge on Anthony Volpe's caught‑stealing in the fourth inning, which left them with no reviews available to request on the Varsho play.
  • Boone said after the game he believed there were “two missed calls” that night and acknowledged he “probably overreacted,” calling his own response a loss of control.
  • The ejection was Boone’s second of the season and the 48th of his managerial career, and it revisited a high‑profile 2019 confrontation between Boone and Miller that remains part of their public history.
  • New York won 5‑4 despite the incident, and the episode has focused attention on how replay‑challenge limits and on‑field manager‑umpire clashes shape fan reaction and perceptions of fairness.
