Suspended and Ill

Josh Donaldson had a bad day. The Yankees placed him on the COVID illjured list, and MLB suspended him for one game for his antics Saturday:

“MLB has completed the process of speaking to the individuals involved in this incident. There is no dispute over what was said on the field. Regardless of Mr. Donaldson’s intent, the comment he directed toward Mr. Anderson was disrespectful and in poor judgment, particularly when viewed in the context of their prior interactions,” Hill said in a statement.

“In addition, Mr. Donaldson’s remark was a contributing factor in a bench-clearing incident between the teams, and warrants discipline,” he said.

Donaldson will appeal the suspension.

In better news for the Yankees, Aroldis Chapman underwent an MRI on his Achilles tendon. The results were negative, but the Yankees may put the closer on the IL to let him rest and recover.
