Boone Gets Suspended One Game.
The animated nature of Boones third career ejection was what made the highlight reels and replays, but it was the slight contact his cap made with Lentzs during their heated exchanges before and after that caught the attention of MLB chief operating officer Joe Torre.
Bench coach Josh Bard will manage the Yankees on Sunday in place of Boone, who was also fined an undisclosed amount by MLB. Prior to Sundays game, the Yankees added bullpen depth by recalling right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga from Double-A Trenton.
Trailing by 4 1/2 games on Aug. 23, the Dodgers have won eight of nine, including three of the four games of this showdown series to lead the alone division for the first time since Aug. 7.
