San Diego Padres pitcher Ron Marinaccio has received a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine following an incident involving Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson during Saturday’s game. The Padres defeated the Orioles 9-3 in the contest held in San Diego.
The suspension stems from Marinaccio hitting Henderson with a pitch late in the game. Details surrounding the pitch and any potential prior tensions between the teams were not disclosed. In addition to Marinaccio’s penalty, Padres manager Craig Stammen was also suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount in connection with the same incident.
Both teams have not released detailed statements explaining the circumstances that led to the disciplinary actions. The Padres are expected to adjust their pitching staff lineup to accommodate Marinaccio’s absence for the upcoming three games. No further disciplinary measures have been announced at this time.
