Chicago White Sox's Tony La Russa, Mike Wright suspended after Los Angeles Angels slugger Shohei Ohtani hit by pitch

Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Wright has been suspended three games and manager Tony La Russa for one stemming from an incident in which both were ejected after Angels slugger Shohei Ohtani was hit by a pitch on Thursday.

La Russa will serve his suspension during Saturday's game vs. Texas. Wright, meanwhile, has elected to appeal the ban and is eligible to play until that hearing is heard.

Wright was ejected from Thursday's 9-3 loss after hitting Ohtani in the calf with a pitch with two out and nobody on in the ninth.
