Reds pitcher Amir Garrett’s suspension reduced for 5 games
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Amir Garrett has had his suspension reduced from seven games to five games by Major League Baseball. The left-handed reliever appealed his suspension this past week after he was handed a seven game suspension for “inciting a bench clearing incident” with the Chicago Cubs. Despite no punches being thrown, and Garrett touching absolutely no one, he was the only player suspended for his “involvement” and somehow got a week’s worth. Garrett will begin serving the suspension tonight, and assuming there are no postponements, he should return on Sunday in Colorado. The Reds will be playing with a 25-man roster until he returns.
