Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras was suspended two games and given an undisclosed fine by Major League Baseball for "inappropriate actions" during Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, it was announced Saturday.
Contreras threw down his catcher's mask moments after Cubs pitcher John Lackey was ejected in the fifth inning for arguing with umpire Jordan Baker. The mask made contact with Baker's leg, and Contreras was also ejected after confronting Baker.
Contreras has appealed the suspension, meaning he'll be able to play until the appeal is heard and ruled upon.
