Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon says he is dropping his appeal after his suspension was reduced to four games by Major League Baseball for his altercation with a fan last week.
Rendon spoke before the Angels opened a series in Seattle on Monday night and said the league had agreed to reduce his suspension from five games to four.
The initial five-game suspension was handed down by MLB senior vice president Michael Hill earlier Monday and the appeal by Rendon was immediate.
Rendon's suspension will begin with Monday's game and he will sit the entire series against Seattle. Rendon grabbed a fan by the shirt through the bleacher guardrails after Thursday night's 2-1 loss at Oakland.
