MLB announced that Nationals' reliever Jorge López will be suspended for three games after throwing at Andrew McCutchen's head, in a series that's already seen multiple hit batsmen and a trip to the hospital for one of them.

Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez and pitcher Jorge López were suspended by MLB after the team intentionally threw at Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, the league announced Thursday.

Pittsburgh Pirates veteran outfielder Andrew McCutchen was nearly hit in the head with a pitch during Wednesday night's game against the Washington Nationals, leading to the benches clearing during the game. Nationals pitcher Jorge López was ejected from the game after the benches cleared.
