NEW YORK - The MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended Philadelphia Union midfielder Jose Martínez for two additional matches (three matches total) and fined the player an undisclosed amount for violent conduct in the 14th minute of Philadelphia's match against New York City FC on May 1.

Martinez will serve his red card suspension May 8 against Chicago Fire FC, and will serve his additional two match suspensions on May 12 against New England Revolution, and May 15 against New York Red Bulls.
