Boston Red Sox outfielder Nate Eaton’s suspension is reduced from three games to two. The Red Sox announce the change, stating that Eaton will begin serving the updated suspension against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, at the start of Boston’s first three-game series in Chicago. The original penalty stemmed from actions during a dugout-clearing altercation involving Washington last week. Eaton’s sanction follows a scuffle with Washington Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas during a game in Boston on June 30. The reduction means Eaton misses two games rather than three, with the revised suspension beginning immediately in the team’s road series opener. All reporting is consistent that the league penalty concerns the same incident and that the Red Sox confirm the new duration and the timing of when Eaton’s suspension will start. The sources do not add further details about additional discipline or length of missed games beyond the reduction and the upcoming White Sox matchup.
