Major League Baseball denied the appeal of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig regarding his two-game suspension, the Dodgers announced Tuesday. As a result, Puig will miss Los Angeles' next two matchups with the New York Mets.
The suspension stems from an incident during the Dodgers' 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Aug. 15. Puig began arguing with Giants catcher Nick Hundley before shoving Hundley and sparking a benches-clearing brawl:
