Wright, La Russa suspended

Chicago White Sox reliever Mike Wright Jr. received a three- game suspension and a fine for intentionally throwing at Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, Major League Baseball announced Saturday. Manager Tony La Russa received an automatic one-game suspension — which he served Saturday — and a fine. Wright hit Ohtani with a pitch with two outs and nobody on in the ninth inning of Thursday’s 9-3 loss at Guaranteed Rate Field. Two of Wright’s four pitches to Ohtani were inside, the final one hitting him in the leg. The umpires gathered for a discussion and tossed Wright. La Russa talked with the umpires and also was ejected.
