Major League Baseball has upheld Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista's one-game suspension for his role in a brawl with the Texas Rangers on May 15.
Per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca, MLB denied Bautista's appeal. He will serve it during Toronto's game against the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.
The feud between Bautista and the Rangers began last year during the playoffs when he did the now-legendary bat flip after hitting the decisive three-run homer in the seventh inning of Game 5 of the American League Division Series.
In the last regular-season game between the two teams on May 15, Rangers pitcher Matt Bush put Bautista on first base in the top of the eighth inning by hitting him with a pitch.
