 | Irate Navarro Suspended 3 Games Monday, May 23rd, 2016 The agitation was hot and heavy at Field of the Plunder yesterday. After a called third strike Wolverines right fielder Andrés Navarro protested the call in no uncertain terms. While he and the home plate umpire were jawing face-to-face, a few bumps took place and Navarro was ejected from the game.
"It was verbal, nothing more," according to Navarro. However, the league frowned on what transpired and suspended him for 3 games.
"The league will never tolerate a player touching an umpire in anger," the commissioner said in the suspension notification.
Presently Navarro is batting .264 and has collected 4 home runs, 19 RBIs, .365 OBP and scored 12 runs. |   |
