The updated verdict is out for Los Angeles Angels\u2019 Jorge Soler and Atlanta Braves\u2019 Reynald L\u00f3pez. Both players were initially set to receive a seven-game suspension following last night\u2019s viral altercation<\/a>, per Jeff Passan<\/a>. However, after filing an appeal, less than an hour later, AJC Braves beat writer Chad Bishop reported that L\u00f3pez had gotten his suspension reduced to five games.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a bad change at all, as it was reported via live broadcast that with tomorrow\u2019s off day, Holmes is likely to take L\u00f3pez\u2019s place on Monday, for L\u00f3pez to return on Tuesday\u2026 therefore, he\u2019s technically not missing a game.<\/p>\n

Not a bad outcome. Soler\u2019s updated appeal review is yet to be reported.<\/p>\n

It was the bottom of the fifth inning, where everything took place. L\u00f3pez threw a pitch high and tight off the backstop, which Soler didn\u2019t appreciate after previously being hit by a pitch in his second at-bat. Once he charged the mound after what looked to be words exchanged between him and L\u00f3pez, hands were thrown, and though punches from both sides didn\u2019t connect, there was footage of L\u00f3pez using the ball he kept in his hand as his weapon of choice. It ended with a tackle from Braves manager Walt Weiss to Soler\u2026well, until the bullpen ran out to get the last of the action\u2026<\/p>\n

This punishment would also include an undisclosed fine following their actions, starting today.<\/p>\n

Hey, on the bright side\u2026at least Weiss got away scot-free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The updated verdict is out for Los Angeles Angels\u2019 Jorge Soler and Atlanta Braves\u2019 Reynald L\u00f3pez.
