Analyst reveals lengths MLB went to make sure Padres manager Mike Shildt didn't contact dugout during suspension
Former big leaguer and 'Foul Territory' podcast co-host A.J. Pierzynski gave an eye-opening description about the lengths MLB went to ensure Mike Shildt wouldn't manage the San Diego Padres from afar while serving a one-game suspension. Shildt was suspended for his role in a benches-clearing incident after Fernando Tatis Jr. got hit in the hand by a pitch last Thursday during the Padres' 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. When Shildt went onto the field to check on Tatis, he started yelling at Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who came out and went back at Shildt. Both benches and bullpens cleared to separate the two managers. Shildt and Roberts were both ejected from the game and given one-game suspensions. Advertisement Shildt served his suspension during Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals, and Pierzynski revealed what MLB officials did to prevent the Padres manager from interacting with his staff. 'Did you all know that he was locked in his office, OK, for the game? And there's MLB people that sit in there with him to make sure he doesn't pick up the phone to call down to the dugout,' Pierzynski said on the podcast. 'He can't leave his office… MLB people are watching him everywhere.' The Padres lost that Friday night game to the Royals 6-5 but won the next two contests. San Diego sits a half-game behind for the last NL Wild Card spot and five games back of the first-place Dodgers. Advertisement Related Headlines

Mets demote second former top prospect in two days
For the second straight day, the New York Mets have demoted a former top prospect to the minor leagues. The Mets optioned infielder Luisangel Acuna to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday. The younger brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. has started just five times over the last month due to offensive struggles, collecting only 18 at-bats in June. Advertisement Luisangel Acuna was slashing .308/.357/.385 through April with five doubles, but his numbers dropped dramatically in May when he hit .204/.254/.222. June brought more struggles at .167/.211/.167. Overall this season, Acuna carries a .241/.293/.283 line with no home runs and a poor 68 OPS+ — meaning he was 32% worse than the league average hitter. The Mets called up veteran outfielder Travis Jankowski to fill his roster spot. Acuna joins catcher Francisco Alvarez in Syracuse after Alvarez was sent down Sunday before the Mets' series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. Alvarez has struggled at the plate all season, hitting .236/.319/.333 with just three home runs and 38 strikeouts in 35 games. He fractured the hamate bone in his left hand during spring training and didn't make his season debut until April 25. Advertisement Just two seasons ago, Alvarez hit 25 home runs. The Mets hope to get both players back on track offensively as they are part of the young core the team will need to rely on later this season and potentially in the playoffs. Related Headlines
