Ceddanne Rafaela, Boston Red Sox center fielder, expressed frustration after a controversial non-catch ruling during a game against the New York Yankees, which led to a five-run inning for the Yankees in their 16-1 victory. Rafaela insisted he made a diving catch on a fly ball hit by Jazz Chisholm Jr., but umpires ruled it a trap, a call upheld by video review. He shared his thoughts on Instagram, stating he knew he caught the ball and felt the ruling changed the game’s momentum. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy noted that the video review did not confirm the call but merely upheld it, adding to the team’s frustration.
