Yankees address broadcast commentary following Red Sox series controversy

Red Sox radio announcer Will Flemming apologized to Yankees manager Aaron Boone after labeling Jazz Chisholm Jr. a bush league player for stealing bases during the eighth inning of Sunday’s game. Boone directed the aggressive baserunning strategy to avoid using relief pitchers in a 7-1 game. Chisholm stated he was unfamiliar with the commentator and intends to move past the remarks. Elsewhere, the Yankees are scouting Japanese pitching prospect Shoki Oda ahead of the October 22 NPB draft deadline. The team also claimed reliever John Schreiber off waivers from Kansas City to provide depth for the bullpen. Additionally, Heliot Ramos is seeing increased production at the plate after a slow start, recently contributing a three-run home run to assist the offense.
