| Breaking News |  | Friday, September 25th, 2015: Players Suspended in Red Sox-Blue Jays Donnybrook
There were a few hotheads at the Boston-Toronto game at Fenway Park II yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Eddie Hickman of the Red Sox and Thomas Vessella of the Blue Jays apparently exchanged some verbal unpleasantries and rushed at one another and began wrestling on the ground. Both benches emptied, but didn't get involved other than a little shoving. Order was quickly restored, the two instigators were ejected by the umpires and the game continued.
The league office took quick action and today announced that both players would be suspended 4 games for inappropriate on-field behavior.
Hickman is batting .192 this year with 17 home runs, 57 RBIs and 73 runs scored. He has 98 hits in 511 at-bats.
This year Vessella has a 11-9 record with a 4.24 ERA.

At the age of 32, Willy Aybar might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The Boston third baseman put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days collecting the American League Player of the Week Award.
He racked up 15 hits in 28 at-bats, 5 home runs and 11 RBIs last week in 7 games.
So far this season Aybar is hitting .313 with 21 home runs.
