After Tuesday evening’s bench-clearing incident in Houston, Major League Baseball has issued several suspensions which will affect the Dodgers as early as Wednesday’s finale.
Joe Kelly has been suspended for eight games for his involvement in the incident. The right-handed reliever is appealing the ruling and will be available out of the bullpen Wednesday.
Los Angeles Manager Dave Roberts was issued a one game suspension. He decided to serve the punishment immediately and will miss Wednesday’s finale. Bench Coach Bob Geren will serve as manager in Roberts’ absence.
Houston skipper Dusty Baker was issued an undisclosed fine.
