Boone defends Jazz Chisholm Jr. steal as broadcaster apologizes

Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed he instructed Jazz Chisholm Jr. to steal bases late in a 16-1 win over the Red Sox after Red Sox broadcaster Will Flemming called the move “bush league.” Flemming later apologized on social media. Boone said the decision came from him and defended the aggressive approach, noting the team wasn’t simply waving the white flag as unwritten rules evolve. Chisholm reached on a leadoff walk in the eighth, stole second and third, and Austin Wells hit two homers in the inning as New York pulled away; the win gave the Yankees a three-game lead in the AL Wild Card race and influenced potential tiebreakers if records tie head-to-head.

Chisholm Sparks Fallout as Broadcaster Apology Intensifies Sox–Yankees Rivalry

After Red Sox radio voice Will Flemming urged Boston pitcher Jovani Morán to drill Austin Wells and to fight Jazz Chisholm Jr. during a Yankees win, he apologized for crossing a line. Chisholm said he didn’t know the broadcaster and isn’t seeking an apology, while Yankees manager Aaron Boone accepted the remorse and defended Chisholm. Judge denounced Flemming’s remarks as a terrible take, noting the comments were out of line in a game with playoff implications, as the rivalry between the teams continued to absorb the fallout.

Yankees Fire Back at Red Sox Broadcaster Over Jazz Chisholm Jr. Comments

After Boston broadcaster Will Flemming called Jazz Chisholm Jr. a 'bush league player' and urged a Sox reliever to drill a teammate during a 16-1 Yankees win, Yankees figures Cam Schlittler and CC Sabathia spoke out on Instagram in a stance mirroring Josh Hart. Flemming apologized, saying his remarks crossed a line. Chisholm stole two bases in the game, and the Yankees took three of four from Boston to widen their lead in the AL East; both teams remain in playoff positions with no remaining regular-season meetings unless they meet in the playoffs.
