    Bradley "aggressively argued balls and strikes and made contact with umpire Larry Vanover," during thee Cubs' 7-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, Bob Watson, baseball's vice president of on-field operations, said in a statement.

    The outfielder was also fined an undisclosed amount, Watson said, adding that since Bradley is appealing his suspension, he will continue to play until the process is complete.

    Bradley has just one hit in 18 at-bats this year.
