MLB Suspensions Following Incident Involving Jorge Lopez
Major League Baseball announced suspensions for Nationals reliever Jorge Lopez and manager Davey Martinez after Lopez’s fastball nearly hit Andrew McCutchen, leading to an ejection and benches clearing. Lopez received a three-game suspension, which he plans to appeal, while Martinez was suspended for one game, serving it immediately. Despite the league’s belief that Lopez intentionally threw at McCutchen, both Lopez and McCutchen denied intent, with Lopez’s recent performance raising concerns about his command on the mound.
