Angels pitching coach Mike Butcher has been suspended for one game and issued an undisclosed fine for leaving the dugout to argue balls and strikes and “aggressively arguing” with an umpire during the Angels’ game Sunday against Seattle, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday.
Butcher will serve his suspension during the Angels’ game against Cleveland on Tuesday, the league said.
Butcher was ejected in the first inning of the Angels’ game on Sunday after leaving the dugout to argue with home-plate umpire Mike Estabrook over the strike zone with Angels ace Jered Weaver on the mound.
It was Butcher’s fourth overall ejection and first since 2008.
