Wigginton penalty now 2 games, Kershaw stays at 5

Baltimore infielder Ty Wigginton has had his suspension cut to two games while Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw is set to sit out five games.

Both players appealed their penalties from last week. Major League Baseball announced the outcomes Monday.

Wigginton was originally suspended for three games after his tirade following a call at first base against Minnesota. He will miss Monday night's game at Toronto.

Kershaw was penalized five games for throwing at San Francisco's Aaron Rowand. MLB consulted with the players' union and the Dodgers, and left the suspension intact. His penalty will start with Tuesday night's game at San Diego.

Kershaw pitched eight innings Sunday as the Dodgers beat the Mets 1-0.
