MLB To Hand Down Nyjer Morgan Punishment Friday Following Brawl, Other Incidents

According to the worldwide leader, Nyjer Morgan should find out his fate on Friday:

Major League Baseball is likely to hand down a ruling on a punishment for Washington Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan on Friday, according to sources.

Morgan is already facing a seven-game suspension for throwing a ball into the stands that hit a fan in Philadelphia. He is appealing that suspension, and since then, he has run over two catchers, gotten involved in a few heated conversations with fans, and taken an active role in a bench-clearing brawl against the Marlins. All of these incidents will be considered as Major League Baseball comes up with a punishment, and given Morgan's status now as a repeat offender, he could be facing a suspension several games long, on top of the one he's already received.

Other members of the Nationals and Marlins, including pitcher Chris Volstad, may also face discipline in the form of a suspension or fine.
