Chris Archer has been suspended for five games following his role in the benches-clearing brawl in Pittsburgh against the Reds on Sunday. Archer threw a pitch behind Derek Dietrich's back which led to both dugouts coming onto the field. (MLB Communications on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Archer pitched six innings on Sunday and got the win against the Reds. The five-game suspension doesn't do anything to his value. He will be back on the mound on April 13th against the Washington Nationals in D.C.
