Cleveland RHP Ubaldo Jimenez has been suspended for five games after hitting Colorado SS Troy Tulowitzki (the two a re former teammates) with a pitch in a Spring Training game on Sunday. The incident cleared both benches and Jimenez was later suspended by MLB Senior Vice President Joe Garagiola Jr. Tulowitzki did not play in Colorado's next Cactus League game on Monday, but he was expected to play both today and tomorrow.
Jimenez insists that the beaning was not intentional and refused to apologize to Tulowitzki. Colorado manager Jim Tracy and several of their players were upset at the incident because it occurred so close to the regular season, despite the fact that most of them were aware of the ill will between the two players.
