Boston Red Sox outfielder Nate Eaton’s suspension is reduced from three games to two, according to the team and reporting from multiple outlets. The penalty stems from Eaton’s involvement in a dugout-clearing altercation connected to a scuffle during a game against the Washington Nationals. The incident occurred last week, after Eaton engaged with Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas during play at Boston on June 30.
The Red Sox announce the revised suspension and state that Eaton begins serving it immediately. He is scheduled to start the suspension against the Chicago White Sox, beginning on Tuesday night during the first game of a three-game series in Chicago. The adjustment changes the length of his enforced absence while maintaining the underlying league/team action related to the confrontation.
No additional details about further discipline or appeals are included in the provided sources. The information focuses on the reduction of the suspension and the timing of when Eaton starts serving the two-game ban.
