Cleveland Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco has been suspended eight games for "intentionally throwing" at New York's Kevin Youkilis, his second penalty in two years for aiming at a hitter.
Major League Baseball appeared to take Carrasco's history into account with the punishment, which included a $3,000 fine.
Carrasco was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday and will not start serving the suspension until his recall.
