DETROIT -- The Tigers have suspended minor league pitcher Warwick Saupold for five games after he was arrested last weekend in Toledo, Ohio.
Saupold was arrested following an altercation at a bar in Toledo, according to an arrest report from the Toledo Police Department obtained by ESPN.com. The fight also involved two Pittsburgh Pirates minor leaguers -- infielder Gift Ngoepe and pitcher Dovydas Neverauskas.
The Tigers released a statement Thursday night saying they were suspending Saupold after reviewing the details of last weekend's incident. The Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, Saupold's team, had only five games remaining in their season, including Thursday's at Columbus.
The 26-year-old Saupold, who is from Perth, Australia, made his major league debut this year, going 1-1 with a 7.45 ERA in six relief appearances for the Tigers.
