Familia worked a 1-2-3 sixth inning against Portland in his second appearance this season, throwing six of his nine pitches for strikes. He is eligible to return to New York's roster Thursday, when the team wraps up a three-game home series against Philadelphia.
Familia's suspension stems from an altercation with his wife last fall. He was arrested Oct. 31 on a simple assault charge, but prosecutors later dropped the case. Under the domestic violence policy, a player can be disciplined absent a criminal conviction
Familia can participate in up to six minor league games while serving the penalty.
I guess the Marlins are "that team" for us again. All these division games to start the season, might give us a good idea of how we should finish this year.
Cespedes ran through a stop sign at 3rd and tried to score from 1st on a 2 out double by Bruce...but got thrown out at home..on a bang bang play.
I like the aggressiveness and trying to make things happen....and he did slide this time...
