Marlins suspend LHP Olsen two games

Jul 16, 2007 - 10:06 PM MIAMI (Ticker) -- The Florida Marlins on Monday suspended lefthander Scott Olsen two games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team.

The suspension comes a day after Olsen pitched five innings in a win over Washington. He improved to 7-7 with a 5.15 ERA on the season.

This is not the first time Olsen has been in trouble with the organization. Last year, he was involved in an altercation with former Marlin Randy Messenger and received a black eye.

In June, Olsen made an obscene gesture to fans in Milwaukee after being removed from the game and was fined an undisclosed amount.

Olsen is expected to make his next scheduled start, Friday against the Cincinnati Reds.
