Angels, M's punished for brawl: Nevin gets 10 games, Winker 7

The Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels got into a brawl on Sunday afternoon.

JUNE 28, 2022

Banned for two games Rodriguez received a two-game suspension for his actions during Sunday's brawl with the Angels, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rodriguez was one of seven players to receive a suspension for the incident. He is appealing the discipline, so he remains in Seattle's lineup as the second hitter while starting in center field Monday against the Orioles.

Ejected from Sunday's game Rodriguez struck out in his lone plate appearance of Sunday's game against the Angels before he was ejected from the contest for his involvement in a benches-clearing brawl in the...

Impact Rodriguez was at the plate when the home plate umpire issued a warning to both teams in the first inning, when Angels starter Andrew Wantz threw his first pitch behind the star rookie after inducing a leadoff lineout from J.P. Crawford. Wantz then proceeded to hit Jesse Winker in the hip in the second inning, which incited a brawl that caused an 18-minute delay. Rodriguez was one of eight players or managers who was ejected after the ensuing fracas, which MLB will review before announcing suspensions. If Rodriguez is determined to have thrown any punches in the brawl, he could be subject to some discipline from the league.

Homers in three-hit effort Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Athletics.

This was the rookie outfielder's third multi-hit effort in his last five games, a span in which he's gone 9-for-21 (.429).

Three hits across twin bill Rodriguez went 3-for-9 with two doubles, an RBI and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Angels.

Impact Daniel Kramer of MLB.com recently reported J.P. Crawford would get a look as the leadoff hitter, but it was Rodriguez who batted atop the order in both games Saturday against a pair of southpaws (Patrick Sandoval and Jose Suarez). It's too soon to tell if that adjustment will stick, but it makes sense for the righty-hitting Rodriguez to move up the order, especially given his speed. The rookie outfielder is up to 18 steals after his theft in the matinee contest, though he now shares the major-league lead with the Marlins' Jon Berti. Rodriguez is slashing .269/.331/.426 with eight home runs, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, 13 doubles and a triple through 66 contests.
