MLB also announced Wednesday that Rays outfielder Jose Siri was handed a three-game suspension for his role in the skirmish. Brewers manager Pat Murphy received a two-game ban for inappropriate conduct toward officials, the league said.

Murphy began serving his suspension during Wednesday’s game. Siri was not in the starting lineup for the Rays.
