HP Umpire Jeremie Rehak ejected Giants manager Tony Vitello (Replay Review that upheld a foul ball/not HBP call; QOCN) in the top of the 2nd inning of the #Giants-#Mets game. With none out and none on, Giants batter Turner Hill attempted to avoid a 0-1 curveball from Mets pitcher Zac Thornton, ruled a foul ball by HP Umpire Rehak and affirmed upon Replay Review as the result of a manager's challenge by Giants manager Vitello. Replays indicate the pitched ball touched batter Hill's hand before touching the bat, the call was incorrect. At the time of the ejection, the Giants were leading, 1-0.

MLB Ejection 115 - Doug Eddings (4; Oliver Marmol)

HP Umpire Doug Eddings ejected Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol (hat/uniform rule/pitch clock violation; QOCN) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the #Cardinals-#Rockies game. With one out and one on, St Louis effected a pitching change, substituting Justin Bruihl into the game for departing pitcher Hancel Rincon. Upon entry, Eddings and Marmol engaged in an argument during which the between-pitchers pitch clock timer expired, resulting in a pitch clock violation and automatic ball charged to Bruihl. Eddings reportedly took issue with Rincon's uniform and specifically how Rincon wore his hat. Replays indicate the pitcher's uniform cap was worn on the pitcher's human head, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Cardinals were leading, 4-3. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 7-6.

This is Doug Eddings (88)'s 4th ejection of 2026.

Replays indicate the runner appeared safe at second, but may have broken contact with the base due to momentum in oversliding it and that 2B Umpire Estabrook judged that SS Adames illegally pushed BR Pasquantino off the base, rendering the play unreviewable and making the runner safe, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Giants were leading, 3-0.

MLB Ejection 073 - Adrian Johnson (2; James Rowson)

2B Umpire Adrian Johnson ejected Yankees hitting coach James Rowson (pitch clock violation call by HP Umpire Quinn Wolcott on batter José Caballero; QOCN) in the bottom of the 6th inning of the #Pirates-#Yankees game. With two out and one on, Yankees batter Caballero was called for a pitch clock violation prior to Pirates pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski's 0-1 pitch. Replays indicate Caballero entered the batter's box and delayed becoming alert to the pitcher by keeping his head facing down and not looking at the pitcher for several seconds after entering the batter's box, deemed a pitch clock violation by MLB, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Pirates were leading, 2-0. The Pirates ultimately won the contest, 5-3.

This is Adrian Johnson (80)'s 2nd ejection of 2026.

This is a technically correct call for a confusing mid-season interpretation of the pitch clock rule: "Conduct by batters designed to deceive a pitcher into beginning their windup or coming to the set position in violation of these Regulations shall be considered circumvention in accordance with section A.4.d below.  In such cases, the umpires will issue a warning to the batter for his deceptive behavior.  If the batter continues to engage in such conduct during the game, the umpire shall asses a Pitch Clock Violation (i.e., automatic strike)."

Accordingly, assessing a Pitch Clock Violation instead of warning Caballero first is the basis for QOCN.

The box score erroneously credited the ejection to Wolcott; video evidence indicates it was Johnson's.

With one out and the bases loaded, Padres batter Song took a 3-0 fastball from Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman for a called first strike. Song then attempted to challenge the call, but the request was denied by HP Umpire Pawol. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the heart of home plate and at the hollow beneath the knee (px -0.15, pz 1.58 [sz_bot 1.61 / RAD 1.49]), but that the challenge was timely, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the Padres were leading, 2-1.

This is Adam Hamari (78)'s 1st ejection of 2026.

*The strike call was correct, but the decision to deny the challenge request was incorrect.

One batter later, Pawol called a balk on Blue Jays pitcher Gausman for taking a second step during delivery in Set Position. Gausman had failed to declare he was pitching in Windup Position (feet were in 'Hybrid' and parallel to the rubber) prior to that particular at-bat, meaning he was presumed to be pitching in Set Position, making the second step (the step back) illegal.

MLB Ejection 052 - Jordan Baker (5; Craig Counsell [PCR Out])

3B Umpire Jordan Baker ejected Cubs manager Craig Counsell (Replay Review that overturned 2B Umpire Stu Scheurwater's safe call; QOCY) in the top of the 7th inning of the #Cubs-#Mets game. With one out and one on, Cubs batter Michael Busch took a 3-2 slider from Mets pitcher Tobias Myers for a called fourth ball as Cubs baserunner R1 Pete Crow-Armstrong attempted to steal second base. Although HP Umpire Valentine ruled the pitch ball four, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez threw to shortstop Bo Bichette as runner Crow-Armstrong slid into second base, ruled safe by 2B Umpire Scheurwater, overturned to out via Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. Replays indicate Crow-Armstrong touched second base, then momentarily broke contact with the base and was tagged at this time, but did not pass the base, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Cubs were leading, 7-2. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 9-6.

This is Jordan Baker (71)'s 5th ejection of 2026.

*Pursuant to the technical rule, this call is correct. Except when it isn't. At issue is Official Baseball Rule 5.05(b)(1) Comment, which states, "If, in advancing, the base runner thinks there is a play and they slide past the base before or after touching it they may be put out by the fielder tagging them."

Meanwhile, OBR 5.09(b)(6) states, regarding force plays, "The force is removed as soon as the runner touches the base to which they are forced to advance, and if they overslide or overrun the base, the runner must be tagged to be put out." (Bear in mind that the runner is forced to advance by virtue of the batter becoming a runner, which is subject to the same standard for 'when does protection end?' as any other force play.)

This pits two different standards against each other for the same play: "past the base" and "overslides the base", which mean different things. Whereas passing a base is defined as having both feet on the ground past the leading edge of the base, "OVERSLIDE (or OVERSLIDING) is the act of an offensive player when his slide to a base, other than when advancing from home to first base, is with such momentum that he loses contact with the base."

Ultimately, the stricter standard of oversliding takes the day and PCR is called out pursuant to OBR 5.09(b)(4): "Any runner is out when they are tagged, when the ball is alive, while off their base."
