Cole Carrigg Benched Following Obscene Gesture to Braves Fans

Rockies rookie outfielder Cole Carrigg has been benched for at least one game following an incident during Saturday's contest against the Braves. After failing to make a diving catch, Carrigg directed an obscene middle-finger gesture toward fans in the Atlanta stands. The team has taken disciplinary action, removing him from the lineup as a result of the conduct. Carrigg reportedly reacted after hearing comments from the bleachers he found objectionable.
