Bryce Harper got punished for potty mouth:

Bryce Harper has been suspended one game and fined by Major League Baseball for his behavior following an ejection this week.

The commissioner’s office says Wednesday that Harper has decided to appeal the penalty, so he remains eligible to play until the process is finished. Last year’s NL MVP is in the Washington Nationals’ lineup Wednesday night against the Detroit Tigers.

Since the appeal usually leads to a lesser sentence, either MLB will drop the game or the fine. On the other hand, if the Nats want to give Harper a day off, he may just drop the appeal and pay the fine.
