San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez will begin serving a reduced two-game suspension on Wednesday, multiple outlets reported. Suarez, 34, originally received a three-game ban from Major League Baseball for intentionally hitting Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani on Thursday.

San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez has reportedly had his three-game suspension for hitting Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani with a pitch last week reduced to two games.

After the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers completed a tense four-game series at Dodger Stadium, MLB suspended managers Mike Shildt and Dave Roberts, and Robert Suarez.
