HOUSTON -- The Red Sox announced moments ago that Coco Crisp's suspension for rushing the mound in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays has been reduced from seven to five games.

Crisp will begin serving the suspension Saturday, and thus will miss all three games of the Sox' series in Tampa Bay next week. He will miss the final two games of the series against the Astros and all three against the Rays. He will be eligible to play again on Thursday, July 3 in New York against the Yankees.

Crisp's appeal was heard earlier this week.
