It looks like he was going to have the game off anyway, but if you still had him in your lineup please make adjustments ASAP.

White Sox’ Jim Thome is suspended 1 game, fined

1 hour, 23 minutes ago

NEW YORK (AP)—Jim Thome of the Chicago White Sox was suspended for one game Tuesday and fined an undisclosed sum by Major League Baseball for “inappropriate actions” during a game against Detroit last week. He was ejected for arguing a call after he struck out.

Thome said he would not appeal and would serve his suspension Tuesday, when the White Sox were home against Oakland. He said he was due for a day off anyway.

“You get caught up in the situation, emotions. No grudges, you move on,” Thome said in the clubhouse before the game against the A’s.

Thome was ejected in the fifth inning last Friday following a third-strike call by plate umpire James Hoye. Replays showed the 3-2 pitch borderline low.

Thome, the designated hitter, headed toward first thinking he had walked. He then turned and began arguing with Hoye. Manager Ozzie Guillen had to separate Thome from the umpire.
