Suspensions
Suspensions are a part of today's baseball, be they due to on-the-field incidents or drugs. OOTP allows for the suspension of players for both of these reasons.

In-Game Incidents
Baseball players are competitive people, and sometimes hotter heads prevail. Just as in real life, if a pitcher throws a few too close to the batters, or hits another player, players can charge the mound. Argued calls can get players ejected from the game. Once an in-game incident occurs, there is a good chance that the involved players will be suspended by the league. Suspensions can also be disabled entirely via the Enable Suspensions checkbox in the Suspension, Injury, and Fatigue Options section of the Game Options page. After game creation, this can be changed at any time.

Drug Suspensions
Drug suspensions can also occur in OOTP. Drug suspensions are random, but players with low intelligence and work ethic are more likely to get suspended for drug use. Drug suspensions can also be disabled entirely via the Enable Drug Suspensions checkbox in the Suspension, Injury, and Fatigue Options section of the Game Options page. After game creation, this can be changed at any time.

Viewing Suspended Players
Suspensions can be seen on the Health Status section of any screen in the Player Profile:

In addition, they can be seen on any player list, where they are indicated by a striped icon and the player's name in blue text.

A news article will also be generated any time players are suspende.
