Mets Suspend K-Rod

[joeybee12]

NEW YORK - Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez was suspended for two days by the team Thursday, a day after he was charged with assaulting his father-in-law at a Citi Field family lounge following a game.

Rodriguez was placed on the restricted list and removed from the active roster. The Mets said he will not be with the team during that time. If not reversed, Rodriguez would lose $125,683 of his $11.5 million salary.

"Ownership and the organization are very disappointed in Francisco's inappropriate behavior and we take this matter very seriously," Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said.
