- Past animal episodes — from squirrels to a hawk — mean Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York has a history of interruptions including the May 23, 2023 squirrel incident, 2019 red-tailed hawk, and 2021 cat incident.
- The squirrel first darted into the batter's box, then paused behind Jhostynxon Garcia's left foot, moved onto the mound, inspected a foot hole near Max Fried, and came within feet of him.
- The interruption produced roughly a one-minute delay, and after play resumed, Max Fried threw a pitch to the backstop for ball four, resulting in a walk for Jhostynxon Garcia, but the Yankees escaped the inning unscathed.
- The rodent sprinted along the warning track and eventually disappeared into signage on the right-field wall, with players, coaches and grounds crew watching amusement as it searched for an exit during the half-inning.
