Yankees Manager Aaron Boone Ejected for 50th Time in Loss to Blue Jays
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected Friday night in Toronto after arguing a called strike during a 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays, reaching 50 career managerial ejections. The incident occurred in the sixth inning at Rogers Centre after Luis García Jr. took a low pitch from Toronto starter Shane Bieber that was called a strike. Home-plate umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Boone after the manager challenged the call, and Boone continued arguing before leaving the field. Boone said afterward that several borderline pitches had preceded the dispute and that the Yankees could not challenge every call. Toronto then scored twice in the sixth, taking the lead after a defensive sequence that allowed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to score. Alejandro Kirk delivered an RBI double and later homered. Guerrero left after a collision at third base and underwent concussion evaluation. The game was played August 14, not August 15, 2026.
