Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos has received a two-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing brawl this past weekend in a game between the Reds and the Cardinals.
Castellanos has also been handed an undisclosed fine.
He is appealing the suspension, which MLB's senior vice president for on-field operations Michael Hill said was given for "aggressive actions and for instigating a benches-clearing incident."
On Saturday, Castellanos was ejected from the game for his role in the confrontation, which ensued after bumping into pitcher Jake Woodford as he slid into home plate on a wild pitch.
