Suspensions left and right

NOTES

Kansas City pitcher Runelvys Hernandez was suspended for 10 games and fined an undisclosed amount, and manager Buddy Bell will have to sit out a game following a benches-clearing brawl last weekend at Detroit.

Tigers reliever Kyle Farnsworth was suspended for six games and Detroit starter Jeremy Bonderman was penalized for five. Both pitchers were fined, as was Tigers shortstop Carlos Guillen.

Hernandez and Bell also were fined. The penalties were imposed by Bob Watson, baseball’s head disciplinarian.

“Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was suspended one game by Major League Baseball for inappropriate comments about umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.

“Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny was suspended five games and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball for his run-in with umpire Rob Drake during the Los Angeles’ game against San Francisco last week.

Penny threw his helmet while returning to the dugout following a play at first base.

Wood out at least one start

Kerry Wood will miss at least one start after getting a cortisone shot Thursday in his aching right shoulder, which has forced him onto the disabled list once already this season.

Wood lasted only three innings in the Chicago Cubs’ 9-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night, giving up three solo homers. His shoulder was stiff and his fastball subpar.
