Fraley: After being suspended 8 games by MLB, Rougned Odor has '100 percent' support from coaches

Andrus accepted his penalty, forcing the Rangers to go one player short against Oakland. The consensus opinion was the club would benefit by Andrus getting the suspension out of the way.

Odor will appeal, allowing him to stay on the roster until the process is completed. He was in the lineup, batting lead-off, against the Athletics.

"I knew I was going to be suspended," Odor said. "I’m waiting for the appeal.’’

Toronto had four suspensions: three games to manager John Gibbons, three games to middle reliever Jesse Chavez, one game to coach Tim Leiper and one game to Bautista for a hard slide into Odor and post-game comments.
