Yorvit Torrealba, backup catcher for the Texas Rangers, shoved an umpire in the neck and head last week and is now paying the consequences. The Venezuelan league issued a 66-game suspension that will keep him out for this year and the remainder of the season in 2012. Thus far, the MLB has yet to comment on whether Torrealba's actions will result in any disciplinary actions when he returns to the Rangers.
