The Nationals don't expect to have outfielder Nyjer Morgan on Friday.

Major League Baseball is likely to hand down a ruling on a punishment on Friday, according to sources.

Morgan was ejected Wednesday night after charging the mound and touching off a benches-clearing brawl with the Marlins.

The league is reviewing a range of incidents involving Morgan since he hit a fan in the head with a ball he threw into the stands and gestured at fans at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 21.

Morgan was given a seven-game suspension and fined for that incident, but he filed an appeal and has been allowed to play until the appeals process is complete.
