Yasiel Puig Suspended Two Games For Role In Brawl

Aug 17, 2018 8:54 AM

Yasiel Puig has been suspended two games and fined an undisclosed amount for his actions in Tuesday night's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants.

Unless he appeals, Puig's suspension will begin Friday against the Seattle Mariners.

Puig swatted his bat in frustration after fouling off a pitch, and Hundley said something to him while still in his crouch. Puig turned around and walked toward Hundley, the catcher stood up and they stood face to face and argued for a moment before Puig shoved Hundley twice.

That brought players out of the dugouts and bullpens. Puig's teammates held him back, but he managed to get back to Hundley and hit him again.
