Marlins suspend LHP Olsen 2 games

 

MIAMI (AP) -The Florida Marlins suspended left-hander Scott Olsen for two games without pay because of insubordination and conduct detrimental to the team, manager Fredi Gonzalez said Monday.
Gonzalez said Olsen’s penalty stemmed from an incident Sunday after Olsen was relieved, but would not elaborate.
Olsen won Sunday against the Washington Nationals, giving up two runs and six hits in five innings. Gonzalez said the decision was made “collectively.”
Olsen began serving the suspension Monday, and will not miss his scheduled start Friday at home against the Cincinnati Reds. Olsen was not in the clubhouse Monday to comment on the suspension.
The suspension will cost him $4,153.01.
The Marlins starter is 7-7 with a 5.15 ERA this season. He was 12-10 with a 4.04 ERA in 2006.
Olsen has been in trouble in the past. He received a black eye last season from his friend and former teammate, reliever Randy Messenger, in an off-the-field incident in St. Petersburg, Fla.
In June, Olsen was fined an unspecified amount for making an obscene gesture toward fans in Milwaukee when he was removed from his start and making his way to the dugout.
The last player the Marlins suspended was pitcher A.J. Burnett at the end of the 2005 season.
