By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

WASHINGTON -- Nationals center fielder Nyjer Morgan will begin an eight-game suspension beginning Friday, and has been fined $15,000 by the league office. Morgan is expected to return to action on Sept. 25 against the Braves at Nationals Park.

Morgan will remain with the team in Philadelphia. He will practice with the Nationals, but will watch the games in the stands. Morgan will miss the three-game series against the Phillies, four games against the Astros and one against the Braves in Nationals Park.

"I will be with the team and roll on. I will show support," Morgan said. "I will take batting practice and then watch the game."
