Cincinnati Reds pitcher Amir Garrett was suspended for seven games Tuesday for "inciting a benches-clearing incident" during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs.
Garrett, who was fined an undisclosed amount, is appealing the suspension and remains eligible to play during the appeals process. Michael Hill, MLB's senior VP for on-field operations, announced the discipline.
Javier Báez, who hopped the dugout railing when he was yelling at Garrett, was not suspended. He received an undisclosed fine.
The incident started when Garrett struck out Anthony Rizzo in the eighth inning. Garrett shouted from the mound and pounded his chest multiple times.
