NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees slugger Josh Donaldson was wrong to make a remark referencing Jackie Robinson when speaking to White Sox star Tim Anderson, New York manager Aaron Boone said Sunday. A day after the comment called “racist” by Chicago manager Tony La Russa — an assessment that Anderson agreed with — Major League Baseball continued to investigate the incident. Anderson, one of baseball's leading Black voices and an All-Star shortstop, and Donaldson, who is white, did not speak to reporters before the start of Sunday's doubleheader.
