Yankees captain Aaron Judge addressed remarks made by WEEI radio broadcaster Will Flemming during Sunday's series finale between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. During the game, Flemming suggested that Red Sox pitcher Jovani Morán should intentionally hit Austin Wells and fight Jazz Chisholm Jr. after Chisholm stole two bases while the Yankees held a six-run lead. Flemming characterized the stolen bases as bush league, though reports indicated the action was directed by Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Judge condemned the suggestion of physical retaliation, stating that such talk has no place in the game and called for Flemming to refrain from encouraging player injury. Chisholm separately labeled the comments unprofessional following the broadcaster's apology. The Yankees won three of the four games in the series, with potential future matchups between the two clubs remaining on the schedule.
