TORONTO’S OSUNA SUSPENDED

- — The Associated Press

YORK» Toronto Blue NEW

Jays closer Roberto Osuna has agreed to a suspension through Aug. 4 under baseball’s domestic violence policy, discipline that will cause him to miss about half of the season.

Osuna has not pitched since May 6, two days before he was put on administra­tive leave when he was charged with one count of assault in Toronto.

Major League Baseball said Friday the suspension is retroactiv­e to May 8 and covers 75 games. Osuna will wind up missing 89 days, which would cost him about $2.54 million of his $5.3 million salary.

Servais: Who was that mustachioe­d man?

BOSTON» Seattle manager Scott Servais kept up the ruse on Friday night, denying that he saw Ichiro Suzuki in disguise in the Mariners dugout at Yankee Stadium.

In a performanc­e almost as transparen­t as the fake mustache and hoodie the former outfielder wore when he crashed the team’s bench, Servais said before Friday night’s game against the Red Sox, “I’ve got to keep a closer eye on my dugout.”

Kershaw coming off DL to start Saturday.

NEW

YORK» Clayton Kershaw is set to make a surprise return from the disabled list Saturday night, starting for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a marquee matchup against New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom.

Kershaw has been sidelined since June 1 with a lower back strain. He originally was scheduled to make a rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Oklahoma City at Omaha, but heavy rain in the forecast caused the Dodgers to change plans.
