Yankees' Aaron Boone Suspended 1 Game, Fined After 4th Ejection of 2023 Season

Following his fourth ejection of the season in the Yankees' Thursday night game against the Baltimore Orioles, manager Aaron Boone has been handed a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine from MLB, according MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.

"Aaron Boone has received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his recent conduct toward Major League Umpires, including the actions following his ejection from Thursday night's game," the league said in a statement.

Boone plans to serve the suspension immediately and will miss Friday's series opener against the San Diego Padres.

While his fourth ejection gives him the most in the league this year, surpassing Cincinnati's David Bell and St. Louis' David Marmol, this isn't exactly a new trend for Boone during his time New York.

Dating back to the 2021 season, Boone has had the most ejections of any manager in the AL, consistently leading the league in ejections every year. Last season he led all of MLB with nine, the most of any manager since Bobby Cox had 10 with the Atlanta Braves back in 2007.

He's been ejected 30 times since becoming the Yankees' manager back in 2018, the most of anyone in that span.

So, this suspension isn't particularly shocking given Boone's history.

While making his weekly appearance on the Talkin Yanks podcast, Boone talked about how he doesn't enjoy getting ejected.

The Yankees have seemed to take on Boone's fiery nature of late, however, because although he's been ejected in three of the team's last 10 games, New York has gone 7-3 in that span and has shot up the standings.

It now sits third in the AL East after being last just a few weeks ago and have closed the gap to four games between itself and the second-place Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees also hold the second Wild Card spot.
