Erisbel Arruebarrena Suspended by Dodgers: Latest Details and Reaction

The Los Angeles Dodgers have suspended troubled infielder Erisbel Arruebarrena for the remainder of the 2016 season.

Dodgers director of player development Gabe Kapler announced Arruebarrena's suspension Wednesday "for repeated failure to comply with the terms of his contract," per Eric Stephen of True Blue LA. Barry Lewis of Tulsa World noted this is the second time in less than one year the Dodgers have suspended Arruebarrena.

Arruebarrena's career with the Dodgers has been a disappointment basically since he signed with the team. The 26-year-old received a five-year, $25 million contract in February 2014 and was expected to be their shortstop of the future.
