Wigginton suspension reduced to two games
Baltimore Orioles infielder Ty Wigginton’s appeal of his suspension has reduced it to two games.
Wigginton will begin serving the suspension immediately and finish it before the July 31 trade deadline.
Serving the suspension after the deadline certainly would have made a few teams think twice about trading for him.
The pudgy infielder was suspended for bumping an umpire while arguing that he tagged a runner retreating to first base.
Replays showed that Wigginton clearly tagged the runner before he got back to the base and he should have been called out.
