Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani was hit by a pitch as he batted during a game Thursday night. Major League Baseball on Saturday suspended Chicago manager Tony La Russa and pitcher Mike Wright, alleging that Wright had intentionally thrown at Ohtani during the ninth inning of the Angels’ 9-3 win, striking Ohtani in the calf. La Russa said Thursday he doubted Wright threw at Ohtani on purpose. But La Russa claimed Chicago hadn’t retaliated. MLB special adviser John McHale Jr. will ultimately decide if the Wright must sit out for a while, ESPN reported.
