Jerry Manuel has been suspended for one game by Major League Baseball for bumping umpire Bill Welke after his ejection on Thursday night. Manuel was also fined an undisclosed amount.
Manuel will serve the suspension today, with Sandy Alomar Sr. taking over as manager.
Sometimes, I think this is a silly rule. This is one of those times. Manuel was suspended for “grazing the cap” of Welke, according to Adam Rubin.
