Rendon Down

Anthony Rendon drew a five-game suspension for his altercation with an Oakland fan:

Rendon, who was also fined an undisclosed amount, grabbed a fan by his shirt as he was making his way out of the third-base dugout and into the tunnel that leads to the visitors’ clubhouse at RingCentral Coliseum on Thursday night, in the aftermath of the Angels’ 2-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Opening Day. Rendon accused the fan of calling him a “b—-“, then took a swipe at his head before walking away.

MLB has dealt with a handful of fan-related incidents with its players over the last several years, including a couple last year, when Tim Anderson was given a one-game suspension for flipping off a fan in April and Amir Garrett was docked three games for throwing a drink at a fan in August.

No word yet if Rendon will appeal the suspension.
