Pillar was suspended two games by the Blue Jays after shouting distasteful remarks directed at Braves right-hander Jason Motte in Wednesday's contest, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pillar issued an apology to Motte and the team released an initial statement that disapproved of his actions, but they ultimately handed out a suspension anyway. Prior to the suspension, the 28-year-old was batting .305 with 27 runs scored and six stolen bases. If he begins serving the suspension Thursday evening, he'll be eligible to return to action Saturday. Ezequiel Carrera and Darrell Ceciliani seem to be in line for more playing time while Pillar is out.
