Los Angeles Dodgers' Erisbel Arruebarrena's rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque came to an abrupt end Saturday night.

The 24-year-old infielder started a massive brawl that resulted in 10 ejections in the Isotopes' game against the Reno Aces when he struck out in the second inning.

Sunday, Arruebarrena was activated from the 15-day disabled list, where he'd been rehabbing a hip injury, and optioned to High-A Rancho Cucamonga.

When he serves an eventual suspension, as is expected for his role in the incident, he won't earn major league service time (nor major league money). 

At Rancho Cucomonga, infielder Delvis Morales was sent to Class-A Great Lakes to make room for Arruebarrena.
