NEW YORK - Detroit Tigers pitcher Fernando Rodney has been suspended for three games and fined for throwing a ball toward the stands following a game last week at Tropicana Field.
During a postgame celebration on the field after Detroit beat Tampa Bay 4-3 on Friday night, Rodney threw the game ball toward the seats and it ended up in the press box. No one was hit by the ball, which Rodney said he was throwing to the fans.
Rodney said at the time he was "feeling the moment."
The penalty was announced Tuesday by baseball vice president for discipline Bob Watson. If the players' association appeals, the suspension would be delayed.
