Major League Baseball suspended Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo López and Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler for seven games each following a benches-clearing incident during Tuesday night's game at Angel Stadium. Both players received undisclosed fines, with López settling his appeal for a five-game ban effective immediately while Soler appeals his penalty. The clash stemmed from a high pitch after Soler homered and was hit by a pitch earlier.
Skellefteå centre Pär Lindholm and Luleå defenceman Oskari Laaksonen have each been handed two-match suspensions by the Swedish Ice Hockey disciplinary committee. The bans follow match penalties in Saturday's SHL semifinal game, which Skellefteå won on the road to take a 3-0 series lead. Both incidents involved high-risk hits to opponents' faces.
