Dylan Buell/Getty Images(TORONTO) — Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar is expected to donate his forfeited salary from a two-game suspension last month to two LGBTQ organizations in the Toronto area.
Pillar received the suspension after yelling an anti-gay slur at Atlanta Braves reliever Jason Motte during an on-field confrontation on May 17.
Pillar apologized for using for the slur the following day.
