NEW YORK (AP) Major League Baseball suspended Josh Donaldson for one game Monday after the New York Yankees slugger made multiple references to Jackie Robinson while talking to White Sox star Tim Anderson during the weekend.

Donaldson also was fined an undisclosed amount for his actions Saturday at Yankee Stadium. The punishment was announced by Michael Hill, the senior vice president of on-field operations for MLB.

Donaldson has appealed the penalty, meaning he can continue to play until there is a final decision. Shortly before the suspension was announced, the Yankees said Donaldson had been put on the COVID-19 injured list.

NEW YORK (AP) Ramon Urias hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning off Gerrit Cole and the Baltimore Orioles withstood Aaron Judge's two home runs to beat the Yankees 6-4 Monday night and send New York to its season-high third straight loss.

"I thought we grinded out at-bats really well," Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. "Gerrit Cole's got great stuff. He's an ace. He's an ace for a reason and to be able to put some runs up on the board against him, I'm proud of our hitters."
