Mets closer Fransisco Rodriguez found himself in a little bit o trouble; Rodriguez remained in police custody and was placed on the restricted list on Thursday morning, a half-day after he was arrested and charged with third-degree assault for allegedly attacking his father-in-law outside the family lounge at Citi Field.
Reliever Ryota Igarashi was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to take his spot on the roster.
The Mets will dock Rodriguez his pay, which will cost him $125,683.06.
You can expect the usual party line quotes from the members of the Mets organization; "We have his back" "He's part of the family" "We need him here on the field" etc etc.
K-Rod is scheduled to appear in court today to face the charges.
