What happened: Major League Baseball has suspended Ron Marinaccio for three games following an incident where he intentionally hit Gunnar Henderson with a pitch. The disciplinary action comes after a league review of the confrontation, which resulted in an immediate multi-game ban for the pitcher.

Why it matters: The loss of Marinaccio removes a bullpen option during a critical stretch of the season. For Henderson, the Orioles star continues to be a focal point for opposing pitchers as Baltimore looks to maintain their strong 12-6 start to the campaign.

What to watch: Marinaccio is expected to serve the suspension immediately unless he chooses to appeal the decision. Henderson is anticipated to remain in the lineup for his team's next series.
