DETROIT -- Delmon Young was suspended by Major League Baseball on Monday for seven days following his arrest on a hate crime harassment charge last week in New York. The commissioners office said the suspension is retroactive to Friday, when Young was arrested after a late-night tussle at his hotel during which police say he yelled anti-Semitic epithets. "Those associated with our game should meet the responsibilities and standards that stem from our games stature as a social institution," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "An incident like this cannot and will not be tolerated. I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate episode." The statement from the commissioners office also said that Young would be required to participate in a treatment program. Young is eligible for reinstatement from the restricted list May 4. Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said Young will not appeal the ruling and that he will not face additional discipline by the team when he comes off the restricted list Friday. "Under the (collective bargaining agreement), theres no dual discipline," he said. "Hell be activated and ready to play on Friday. If hes not in the lineup, that will be the managers decision. Hes been working out over the weekend, and took batting practice today, so hell be physically ready on Friday." Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, Young was standing outside the team hotel in New York. Nearby, a group of about four Chicago tourists staying at the hotel were approached by a panhandler wearing a yarmulke and a Star of David around his neck, according to police. Afterward, as the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets, police said. It was not clear whom Young was yelling at, but he got into a scuffle with the Chicago group, and a 32-year-old man was tackled and sustained scratches to his elbows, according to police and the criminal complaint. Both Young and the group went inside the hotel, and at some point, police were called, and Young was arrested, police said. Young was first taken to a hospital because he was believed to be intoxicated, police said. Young apologized to his teammates and fans in a statement before being arraigned hours after his arrest. Dombrowski did not know any of the details of the treatment program. It is not known if Young would undergo sensitivity training, treatment for alcohol and anger issues or some combination. "We have not been told those details, and we might never know all of them," he said. "When Miguel (Cabrera) was in a similar program last spring, I never saw the entire treatment program. The team is just told what they need to know to facilitate the players work in the program." Young is hitting .242 in 18 games, batting fifth in the order behind Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder.

The MLS club, however, insists that he remains in the fold, although he could be headed out for a loan spell. A Plata tweet Saturday night suggested the five-foot-two, 135-pound speedster was on the move. "It has been a pleasure playin 4 Toronto FC. I want 2 give much thanks n luv 2 the fans 4 all the support during my time here. Love Plata!!" said the tweet. During halftime of Saturday nights 1-1 tie with the New York Red Bulls, Earl Cochrane, the teams director of team and player operations, told reporters that Plata "today is a Toronto FC player." But he said the team has taken calls about the 20-year-old Plata, from clubs in Ecuador and Mexico. "Weve toyed with the idea and were continuing to think about whether we loan him out," he said. "The fact that weve got some depth in that position allows us to even entertain this," he added. A club spokesman, reacting to the Plata tweet, said after the game that Cochranes assessment remains the club line. Plata has two more years on his MLS contract and Cochrane called him a "great asset" that the team does not want to lose. "Loaning him out would allow him to go and continue developmment but it would free up some space for us to get a player who we probably think we would need more," said Cochrane.dddddddddddd Toronto FC has spoken about the need to beef up its defence. Plata, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has seemingly fallen out of favour recently The leading scorer at the MLS Combine in 2011, his lack of size appeared to scare many clubs off. But Toronto sent the Chicago Fire a player to be named later for the 49th overall pick to grab Plata and the diminutive winger rewarded them with some electric runs at goal. He has three goals and five assists in 36 games over two seasons and became a fan favourite. Toronto coach Paul Mariner, at his post-game news conference, was clearly annoyed that Plata seemed to be dispensing news himself rather than allowing the club to take the lead. "I love that when 19-year-old kids come in and tell the press whats going on," he said sarcastically of Plata, who is actually 20. "Isnt that a wonderful situation for me to be in?" Cochrane, meanwhile, said there was nothing to report on veteran Italian defender Alessandro Nesta other than he was a player whom they had discussed internally. Earlier in the week, Mariner called Nesta "one of our targets." ' ' '
