"Aroldis Chapman has been suspended for two games after being ejected on Monday. He is permitted to appeal per @JonHeyman" - @StoolBaseball
It is unclear why the umpire decided to eject Chapman. However, it is clear that something was said. The incident occurred after the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher gave up a two-run double to veteran outfielder Harrison Bader. As Chapman came to speak to his catcher, words were exchanged and the 7-time All-Star found himself ejected from the game.
Chapman has struggled so far this season for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Over the course of 5.2 innings this year, Chapman currently owns a 0-1 record with a 4.76 ERA and 11 strikeouts. A World Series champion last season with the Texas Rangers, Chapman signed a one-year, $10,500,000 deal with the Pirates.
Aroldis Chapman is no stranger to MLB suspensions
The former New York Yankees closer might be one of the most polarizing players in the MLB. The Cuban flamethrower has impressed fans for years with his incredible velocity, setting the MLB record for the hardest pitch record, topping out the radar gun at 105.8 mph.
"Yankees' Aroldis Chapman suspended 30 games" - @latimes
That being said, even though he has been one of the best relievers in the league throughout his career, there have been a number of controversies.
The biggest came in 2016 as a member of the Yankees when Chapman received a 30-game suspension from the MLB for domestic violence allegations. Although he was never charged, he was still suspended from the league.
