Ubaldo Jimenez has filed an appeal of his five-game suspension for hitting Troy Tulowitzki on Sunday, which is no surprise after the Indians right-hander insisted that he didn?t hit his former Rockies teammate on purpose.
Jimenez was scheduled to start the Indians? second game of the season, but would have to be pushed back to at least the sixth game if the suspension is upheld.
Rockies manager Jim Tracy called Jimenez hitting Tulowitzki ?the most gutless act I have seen in 35 years of professional baseball.?
Jimenez repeatedly said that he didn?t intend to hit Tulowitzki, explaining that ?people act like this is the first time that somebody got hit ? it happens all the time? and explaining that his control during Sunday?s game ?was everywhere? with five walks before the hit by pitch.
Jimenez was not ejected from the game despite the benches clearing. Tulowitzki underwent X-rays, but they came back negative and he?s day-to-day with a bruised elbow.
