Boone, who was unavailable to talk to reporters until later in the afternoon, disputed this. The reports were then amended to say Stanton went back to New York for a "personal matter."

Buck has called a variety of the MLB's biggest moments such as Mark McGwire's 62nd home run to break Roger Maris' record.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are scrambling to find a replacement for Spencer Horwitz after his injury news. This former Yankees infielder could be a perfect fit.
