Dodgers OF Puig draws two-game suspension for fracas

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount for inciting a bench-clearing incident in Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants, Major League Baseball executive Joe Torre announced Thursday.

San Francisco Giants catcher Nick Hundley received an undisclosed fine for his actions, according to Torre, the Chief Baseball Officer for MLB.

Puig's suspension is scheduled to start Friday when the Dodgers play the Seattle Mariners unless he appeals the discipline.

The incident occurred in the seventh inning of the game at Dodger Stadium, when Puig fouled off a pitch from Giants reliever Tony Watson and demonstrably swatted his bat in frustration.

Hundley made a comment while still down in his catcher's crouch. Puig walked toward Hundley, who got up and the two were to face to face before Puig twice pushed Hundley.

The pushes led the dugouts and bullpens of both teams to empty. During the scrum, Puig threw an open-handed punch at Hundley and hit him in the front of the catcher's mask.
