Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon has been suspended five games after an altercation with a fan in the stands in Oakland last week, MLB announced. Rendon will appeal the suspension, which will not begin until the appeal is heard.
. On his way back to the clubhouse, Rendon stopped to confront a fan who apparently had been shouting at him earlier in the night. Rendon grabbed the man by the shirt, asked if he had called him “a little b----” and took an openhanded swipe at him before departing.
But the logistics of Rendon’s suspension are somewhat surprising: Normally, when MLB announces discipline, that announcement includes the length of the suspension and whether the player will appeal. When Rendon’s suspension was announced Monday, MLB seemingly had no idea whether Rendon planned to appeal. A short time later, the Angels announced he would do so.
