Suspension reduced to two games
Uceta's suspension was reduced Wednesday from three games to two games plus a fine, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
The reliever's suspension comes after umpires determined he intentionally hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia. Uceta will begin serving the suspension Wednesday, but the Rays will now be able to add him to their bullpen a day earlier than initially expected.

Serving three-game ban
Uceta won't appeal the three-game suspension issued by Major League Baseball and will begin serving the ban in Wednesday's series finale in Philadelphia, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
Uceta was issued the suspension after he was ejected in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies after umpires determined that he intentionally hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch. In addition to sitting out Wednesday, Uceta will miss games Thursday and Friday in Cleveland before he's eligible to return for the penultimate game of the series Saturday.

Suspended three games for HBP
Uceta has been suspended three games by Major League Baseball after he was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Phillies in the eighth inning when he hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
Rays manager Kevin Cash was also handed a one-game suspension. Uceta was charged with three runs while retiring just one batter before getting the heave-ho after umpires determined he intentionally hit Castellanos with a pitch. The reliever has the right to appeal -- which would allow him to continue pitching until the appeal is heard -- but it's unclear whether he plans to exercise that right. Uceta is one of four different Rays relievers to pick up at least one save since Pete Fairbanks (lat) was injured last month.

Struggles in high-leverage spot
Uceta allowed three earned runs on four hits while recording only one out Tuesday against the Phillies.
Analysis
Uceta entered the game in the eighth inning with the score knotted at 4-4 and runners on second and third. He allowed three of the next four batters he faced to reach base on a double, single and homer, pushing the game out of reach for the Rays. Uceta avoided a loss because Richard Lovelady allowed the inherited runners on base, but it was still a disastrous outing. Even factoring in Tuesday's results, Uceta has a 1.62 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with a 27:3 K:BB since Aug. 1 and across 16.2 innings.

Dominant in five-out save
Uceta notched his second save of the season Sunday against Baltimore, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four in 1.2 innings.
Analysis
Called upon to preserve a 2-0 lead with two runners on and one out in the eighth, Uceta promptly struck out the next two batters to escape the jam. Uceta then worked around a single and a walk in the ninth to pick up his second save of the season. Save opportunities have been few and far between, but Uceta has been dominant since Pete Fairbanks (lat) landed on the injured list on Aug. 19, throwing 7.1 scoreless innings with a sparkling 15:2 K:BB during that stretch. The 26-year-old Uceta hasn't allowed a run since July 31 and owns a pristine 0.75 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 50:6 K:BB in 36 innings this season.
