Gillies suspended
Outfielder Tyson Gillies, a member of the Phillies' 40-man roster, was suspended three games by the organization for damaging the bat rack and dugout wall Thursday at triple-A Lehigh Valley. Gillies, 25, struck out four times in a 9-5 IronPigs loss.
It is not the first time the Phillies have reprimanded Gillies, who was acquired in 2009 as one of three players from Seattle for Cliff Lee. He was suspended in 2012 for an emotional outburst at double-A Reading's bus driver.
"I apologize to everyone for my actions and know this can't happen," Gillies wrote on Twitter. "Frustration got the best of me and I threw my equipment against the wall."
I wouldn't lose any sleep if he took Philippe Aumont with him either, eh?
