The week-long appeal by Shane Victorino on his pending suspension came to a close.
Victorino had his original three-game suspension reduced to two games. His suspension will start tonight. He’ll be able to re-enter the line up on Saturday.
HOWARD UPDATE — Ryan Howard had his hand examined and everything checked out okay for him. He will get a day off and Ross Gload will start tonight for the Phillies at first base.
