Yankees manager Aaron Boone ejected a fifth time this season, arguing over a call protecting Alex Verdugo from getting tossed during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Verdugo, in a hitting slump, voiced his frustration over a questionable call before Boone was ejected.
Boone's ejection was followed by a verbal spar and has earned him a total of 38 ejections. Verdugo's struggles at the plate continue as he tries to turn things around, batting .228 with a streak of hitless at-bats.
