Indians outfielder Yasiel Puig used his free time during his three-game suspension this week to become a U.S. citizen.
Puig made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday by posting a picture of him holding an American flag.
"Thank you God for this great opportunity to be an American citizen," he wrote.
Wednesday marks the final day of Puig's suspension for his role in the benches-clearing brawl between the Pirates and Reds on July 30. He was one of eight individuals suspended for the skirmish, which occurred shortly after Cincinnati traded him mid-game in a three-team deal that sent Indians starter Trevor Bauer to the Reds in exchange for Puig.
