DETROIT -- Tigers outfielder Delmon Young has been suspended by Major
League Baseball for seven days, retroactive to last Friday, and will
undergo a treatment program for his off-field incident and resulting
arrest outside a Manhattan hotel early Friday morning.
Once Young completes the suspension, he'll be activated in time for the
Tigers' game on Friday night against the White Sox at Comerica Park.
Young is accused of aggravated harassment after being arrested early
Friday morning for an incident outside the Hilton hotel in midtown
Manhattan. The misdemeanor charge is also being investigated for
possible hate-crime violations involving race/religion, for accusations
he used anti-Semitic language in yelling at a group of tourists outside
the hotel.
Now that he is suspended, he'll miss out on a week's worth of his $6.75 million salary.
