Twins manager Ron Gardenhire has been suspended for one game following his actions during Thursday’s game against the White Sox.

Gardenhire will serve the suspension tonight – there is no appeal process for managers who are disciplined by the league. He’s allowed to take part in pre-game activities and can remain in his office during the game. Scott Ullger will manage the game from the bench.

Gardenhire was suspended after he kicked his hat in disgust following his ejection in the seventh inning. Fans threw hats, baseballs and other debris on the field after that, forcing Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen to pull his team off the field for a few minutes.
