According to multiple reports, Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been suspended ahead of today’s series finale against the Tigers. He also received a fine for the outburst. Boone told reporters that Major League Baseball issued the suspension because he made contact with umpire Nic Lentz on Friday night.
The entire fracas stemmed from Lentz’s erratic strike zone. Boone vocally protested from the dugout, and Lentz ejected him from the game. That brought the Yankees manager on to the field, where he got face-to-face with the umpire.
