Several White Sox and Royals Players Suspended and Fined
Several players from the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals were suspended for getting a little rough during a weekend game. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was suspended two games and Royals manager Trey Hillman was given one game Tuesday. All four penalties also included undisclosed fines. Olivo and Greinke appealed their suspensions, which were to begin with Tuesday night's game against Boston. They can continue to play until the appeal process is complete. Baseball disciplinarian Bob Watson issued the suspensions following Sunday's game in Kansas City. Olivo will sit out for the second time this year -- he was suspended four games at the beginning of this season after throwing a punch at the Mets' Jose Reyes while playing for Florida last September. Hillman will immediately serve his penalty. The Royals were on their way to a 14-3 win when trouble began in the fifth inning. Olivo already had three RBIs when he was hit by a pitch from White Sox reliever D.J. Carrasco and charged the mound, starting a bench-clearing brawl.
